I am familiar with loaders that substitute the bucket for an articulated tapered boom. I beg to differ with your notion that the crease was formed with a chain. It looks to me like a high velocity hit with a dull edged bar. Most likely a two to three foot piece of 1/4" x 2" flat bar. You can see the imprint on the radius of the upper grill stamping.
