That guy is plowing, I don't get the connection to this thread?

Here is my pond scoop. I have the lift arm pins for the other end. I just took them off because I was going to paint it but never did.

I have a Iseki TU150F which I think is 15 HP. I have a 30" dirt scoop that I use with it. It is all it will handle when the scoop is full of dirt. I wish I had a 24". I usually use mine backing up but found out the need to be very careful because I bent one of my lower lift arms. It doesn't take the place of a loader but it is better than nothing.

He's pulling a 3-bottom plow with the same tractor as the OP. I think it's relevant to the doubts cast as to whether it can handle a dirt scoop.

It is amazing what 16hp will do.

It wasn't all that long ago, 16hp was a fair sized farm tractor.

I have a BX1500 and have been curious how a scoop would work and this picture is very helpful. I of course don't have a FEL and am looking for a cheap alternative and something that is easier than a shovel to move several tons of gravel and some dirt, mostly all on level ground. My question for 94Bullitt, do you have any clearance issues for dumping/unloading?

Yes I can dump it. I tried to get a pic of in the dumped position when I took those pics but it would not stay in the dumped position. My BX has larger tires than your and is a Cat 1 hitch. Your tractor has shorter tires and a limited Cat 1 hitch(does not lift as high as Cat1). I'm not sure if you would be able to dump. If you are in loose material the scoop will do pretty good. It does beat a shovel and a wheel barrow. I know a guy that used an Ford 8N and a dearborn pond scoop to back fill around his house. If you have a little determination you can to a lot with one. You should have some weights on the front if you are going to use a scoop. The front weights also really make the tractor perform better with other implements like a rear blade or rake.
