I am looking for a dirt Scoop that will fit a category 1 3pt hitch. Does anyone know where a guy could find one. I would prefer a used one. What do you think they would go for.

King Kutter at TSC sells a 24" and a 30" for a catagory 1. The 30" sells for around $260 I think. My question is - how well do they dig? Can I dig a shallow (1' to 2') trench?

When I was a kid, my Dad and Grandpa dug 2 ponds with TO20's a subsoiler and a scoop. One would rip, the other would scoop driving forward, then drive to the dam area and dump. It seems the trick is to skim a layer without bogging the tractor, yet filling the scoop before running out of space.
The problem with digging a trench would be that the scoop isn't as wide as the wheels on the tractor. You are limited to the depth the lift arms will lower the scoop below the tires. Maybe someone else knows a way, but I believe the best you can do to get 2' deep with a scoop is to go wider at the top and narrow at the bottom.

If kdlkm can't get to you, I'm interested. I live in Buffalo, NY and I have worked in Pittsburgh in 2000 and 2001 so I know the area.
What brand is the scoop? How big? How old? Good condition? And of course - How much $?

It is a Howse model from the Farm and Fleet store. It is 4 yrs old. It has been sitting most of the time. It is in good condition. Some surface rust. Make me an offer. I really do not have any use for it now.

Sorry, I thought you weren't interested in my offer so I bought a new one last weekend.
