I just finished building a 3-point hitch for my Murray garden tractor.
Lift power is via a 12 volt cable winch. Everything else was fabricated
with steel, all welded (except actual attachment to tractor). Finally
got to test it yesterday, and while it will need a couple tweeks, it
works well.

Now I want to build a loader (trip bucket). Unlike a farm tractor, there
isn't much room to work with in terms of mounting, and I don't have
hydraulics.

I'm looking for conceptual ideas in two areas on how to go about
constructing this.
1. Mounting method (to frame) that will be solid and give me about 5' of
lift at the bucket.
2. Method and mechanics of lifting without the use of hydraulics (will
probably use another winch same as I used for the three-point).

An alternative is if someone has knowledge of inexpensive hydraulic
parts. I can get the cable winch for $50, so wouldn't be willing to
spend a ton more than that on hydraulic pump/valve/cylinders.

Any suggestions appreciated.
