That's doing it the right way, mounting the receiver where you roll the bucket forward to get the hitch ball down low under the trailer. I welded my simpler ball mount on the little Yanmar (photo above) with that in mind.
My other elderly Yanmar came with a ball bolted to the top lip of the bucket. Not very practical, you have to wind the trailer jack to the top before it's high enough to set on that ball. Even considering that this bucket isn't as tall as most loaders.
Don't Do This. It isn't practical.

used to move lots of trailer with a set up like that. didn't always work, but i would curl the bucket down the lift the trailer off the ground and roll the bucket back
