Re: 36\" Rear Dirt Scoop
Brent, here is a 24" hooked to a Yanmar YM2000, (about 1700 pounds). I was told by the dealer that a 30" would be too big for my tractor, and he may have been right. That's about 400# of rocks in there and I wouldn't want to carry any more than that.

Re: 36\" Rear Dirt Scoop
My yanmar 1700 holds a 30" scoop pretty well. I added about 180 # on the front ( probably needed 20-40 more ) And have moved up to 500# of dirt with it. The 'frame' on the 1700 will be similar to your 2000.. but just not as beefy as your tractor. Also, the frame on my scoop is "L" channel angle iron, and thus weighs a bit less ( and not as strong ) as your tube scoop... In any event.. with the scoop loaded fully, I have never come close to loosing a pin, or flexing the frame whatsoever..no stress marks in the paint or at the welds.
