  • Patent number: 4103796
    Abstract: Apparatus for attaching a bucket to a conventional three-point hitch on a tractor to control dumping of the bucket. The bucket is pivotally secured by stub shafts to a yoke-shaped frame. The frame is secured to the bottom portion of a three-point hitch and has an upwardly extending center post attached to the adjustable upper link of the three-point hitch. A rod, pivotally secured to the rear edge of the bucket, is slideably disposed through a sleeve pivotally secured to a lug attached to the center post. A stop member is pivotally secured to the lug over the sleeve and is spring-urged forward over the upper end of the rod to limit movement of the rod upwardly through the sleeve. When the stop member is pivoted rearwardly away from the rod by pulling a rope, the rod slides upwardly through the sleeve as the tractor moves forward dumping the contents of the bucket onto the ground.
