I like the way you think outside the box, Jay!
This was my answer to adding a hook to my buckets but by making a sandwich with 2, 3/8 plates for the bucket linkage I can lift even taking the bucket off and gives me more clearance. Works good for lifting like my 20kw Generac into place when I installed. I'm thinking one might make a receiver mount like this and could use a ball mount or hook or shackle if needed.

Edit, I added a quick attach since that photo so that allows me to use with the bucket off. My original idea was so I didn't have to put a hook on each bucket.
