I'm sure you've considered this: play around with loading/unloading the loader both frontward and backward. You may have to hang the bucket over the back or front. As I get into things, the dump trailer I bought was a cheaper alternative that still has functionality. In reality, I would like to get to the point where I can buy a 3-7 ton dump truck and run an equipment trailer behind it. Time will tell.

Just new to the site----- Does anyone tie down the machine before hauling??

OH YEAH! Have to have to Have to..... I actually visited the local police station and talked to their DOT inspector. He told me everything that I needed to know to be compliant. Trying in loads is a high priority in his eyes. Shiftage will throw off braking, and that is big trouble in a fast stop situation.
Remember safety is no accident. It takes a clear head and good sense to be safe. Don't goof around and don't rush.
