The owner walks through the problem with a hands-on demo, then welds on wider steel stock to distribute the load, describing materials, dimensions, and a total cost of about four dollars. Best for B2601 owners already using or considering this style of hitch.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on DIY experience from his own 33-acre property, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
The bucket's quarter inch cutting blade creates a step back, so clamping down presses on an unsupported gap in the 3/16 inch bucket material, bending it.
Grind off the original keystock and weld on a thicker piece of flat stock plus round stock to fill the gap and add surface area so the clamp no longer bends the bucket.
The owner used precut scrap steel from a local supplier charged at 50 cents per pound, spending about four dollars total on the project.
