Expert Reply:

Alex, you’re on the right track - this works on both tractor and skid steer buckets as long as the bucket edge thickness is 1-1/2" or less. There’s no welding or drilling involved, so it’s a solid option if you don’t want to modify your bucket permanently.

Once it’s clamped on, the etrailer clamp-on bucket hitch receiver # e75ZV accepts any standard 2" shank ball mount, so you can match the hitch ball to the trailer you’re moving. If you’re juggling multiple trailers, an adjustable ball mount like etrailer # e66PR can make things even easier. What coupler sizes are you working with? This etrailer one # e66PR comes with 2" and 2-5/16" balls.
