I made a little receiver that I bolted onto my bucket. It works great most of the time, but can be downright scary in certain situations. Any time the trailer is pushing hard on the tractor, especially when turning or on slopes, you have a lot of leverage pushing the tractor off line. I haven't jackknifed it yet but the potential is real.

Yes I've absolutely pushed/pulled trailers that are way too heavy. I also put a receiver into the back wall of my box blade and that works way better for most jobs except when I have a different implement on back.

Not sure if I would want to pull a trailer with my backhoe with the one that BXpanded makes. Sure looks like a good way to bend a hydraulic cyl. I have moved my 2500 lb dovetail with my front loader with out any problems.
