Default Re: Dirt Scoop and 3 pt as first project

I purchased mine used, ($50) and used it to move a brick sign that my church wanted removed. I just backed the JD into it, knocking it over and then used the scoop to pick up the pieces. To get a full load, I would toss a few pieces on top by hand. One of the larger pieces caught something as I tossed it and misdirected it, catching my hand between the brick and upright on the scoop. Extremely painfull way to remove a fingernail. Just be careful!
You did a beautiful job on it, to say the least. Mine doesn't have the added bends of the top that yours does. Flat would have worked, but the added bends add a touch of class.
The next one I own will probably be built, on a larger scale since my tractor is so large it doesn't even notice it is back there when fully loaded.
