Check the angle of the cutting edge of your teeth. Here's a diagram of a PHD auger I examined in the store. The cutter would be running on the heel of the angle, not the tip. It probably worked in soft ground but wouldn't in the really hard stuff. Bruce

The steel box with a load of gravel will probably collapse when pulled out, unless it has a strong frame. I would build a large "hoe style" implement to fit the loader or 3-point and use it to drag the gravel off the truck. Bruce

Get an 8ft. board (1x2, 2x4), a tape measure, and a small level. Level the board on your slope. Measure the distance between the board and the ground at the high end. The height in inches will be so close to the % grade the difference won't matter. (If you want exact, make a 100 inch board)...
