Bucket upgrade or repair

I have a B2150 w/ an Allied 180 Loader. I've been pushing large rocks/sometimes better luck pulling w/ a chain. I think the loader can handle it but the X7892 Allied 60" bucket has bent on the top of the bucket where the rock contacts the top rail. This is small gauge steel on the top. I'm thinking about welding a steel plate across the top. How much do heavier duty new buckets go for? Better to start over w/ a heavier bucket or repair/reinforce this one?

Reinforcing the top edge is sometimes done by people who weld hooks onto the bucket, and for about the same reason.

I don't know how the bucket is used. However, I'd avoid pushing heavy loads with the bucket angled down. Using a loader like a dozer blade places a lot of stress on the frame and cylinders. It's pretty easy to break something. ....
