- Kubota Tractor Loader L3560 HST+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3,700 pounds bare tractor, 5,400 pounds operating weight, 37 horsepower
I have a Kubota B3300SU with 58" FEL bucket, 59" tire width.
There are occasions when it would be efficient to have a 60" or 72" flat bottom TRANSPORT BOX on the 3-Pt. hitch to carry additional dirt, tools, firewood and/or debris with the FEL bucket full.
In promo videos Transport Boxes are depicted reverse-loading with bulk material. Perhaps 3-Pt. Transport Box would increase tractor's ability to carry fill by 11-17 cubic feet, potentially eliminating utility vehicle plus UTV towed dumping trailer from some fill scenarios.
The ability to dump load is essential.
From my limited research two Transport Boxes are made in USA. Greenwell Manufacturing (producer of Pat's Easy Change) make "Pat's Easy Mover" in Kentucky, and Westendorf, the aftermarket loader people, make the WR-30 "Auto-Dump" in Iowa.

The Pat’s Easy Mover is a front end loader style bucket that attaches to the rear of your tractor using an included 3 point hitch trailer mover/toolbar. Pat’s Easy Moverprovides a lower cost way to complete many of the tasks that were previously only possible with expensive front end loaders, including digging, scooping and spreading. In addition to the bucket, the system also includes a removable tailgate that allows it to functions as a transport box. Or the entire bucket can be removed, leaving a trailer mover/toolbar with a 2” receiver hitch and the capability to accept a gooseneck ball. The Pat’s Easy Mover is made in the USA and is available in 4’ and 5’ models. Both of the models use a category 1 trailer mover/toolbar and carry a one year warranty.

WR-20 & WR-30 Auto-Dump
The WR-20 is designed to attach to a tractor's 3-point on tractors up to 27 HP. The WR-30 fits a tractor's 3-point from 20 to 80 HP. The Auto-Dump™ works with easy one-lever control, the same lever that controls your 3-point. A great solution for small and older 2WD tractors that cannot fit a front-end loader. It is a great solution for farmers, acreage owners, weekend farmers, construction companies, large poultry businesses, nurserymen, snow removal companies, rental companies, schools, golf courses, and much more. The Auto-Dump™ is great for digging, scooping, and hauling material of all types. It can be used to scrape, level, bank, and backfill. Makes quick work of moving tree branches, bricks, bales of hay, firewood, tools, lawn and garden supplies or any job you might use a wheelbarrow for. You get all these great features of a front-end loader for a fraction of the cost.

Are there other USA manufacturers of Transport Boxes I should research?
I am interested in utiliity and quality first, price trailing second.
