The first pic I sent along with this one is my 1st. design which worked pretty well to release the trip mechanism on the scoop bucket. I discarded this however because it didn't address the issue of after release, sometimes with a very full bucket, the bucket just kinda "hung" there and wouldn't dump. I had to get off the tractor and manually swing it to dump. I discarded this design because of that reason and it's been laying on the ground which is why it's so rusty. The next several pics show my very simplified next version which works to trip AND dump ALL of the time.
