New receiver

No...that the only hiccup about.

I have ball hitches on the back of two trucks, a 4 wheeler, and two tractors. I can't see any of them when backing in to hitch up. That's life. I bet the bucket ball is easier to line up even if you can't see it.

I went a different route, a 3 point hitch receiver and suitcase weight bracket. It's a great counterweight for the loader, and very very handy for moving the trailer around. I can see exactly where the ball is from the tractor seat, put it under the coupler, and raise it into place.

I use this style on my forks work good and you can see the ball.....https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Attachments-Forklift-Receiver-Trailer/dp/B01592943M

Yep, same here. Too high to be very useful. I ended up buying on that clamps onto the lower lip of the bucket and that does the trick.

I welded the smaller (1.25" ) receiver tube on the bottom of the bucket. Works great for moving trailers and putting boats in the water. It is a little hard to hook up by yourself but you get used to it.

With the clamp on I use a $20 Wyze wireless camera, the wire shown is hooked to one of those small phone chargers.
Makes it REAL easy to hook up.
