Super Pan

[DennisY]

There used to be an attachment known as "Super Pan" which was billed as sort of a poor man's FEL. It went on a 3pt hitch and was used in reverse. As I recall they were quite wide. Does anyone have any experience with them and are they still in business? Thanks.

Sounds like it might have been a brand name for the 3-point hitch "scoop" like Tractor Supply and a lot of other places still sell.

CADPlans has a loader that mounts on the 3pt. Seems like that might be close.

Steve -

Now that's an interesting site.

I've been looking forward to building a simple implement or two just for the fun of it, but here's a place that sells plans for all kinds of build-it-yourself projects.

All of you tinkerers need to check out www.CADPlans.com.

Way cool. /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif

I just got one for the back of my Goldoni Universal 224 - which is noty very well suited for a front loader because its articulated. Hope it works for me.

Check out Westendorf's loader site. They have a selection of 3 pt loaders for smaller tractors. I have a WR 20 with the 60" box and the aux hydraulic lift. Although I don't use it that much, it is handy for moving sand, limestone, gravel and mulch.

The nomenclature used today is Pond Scoop or Dirt Scoop. These come up for sale, used, on eBay fairly frequently.

My first tractor was a clapped out Deere 750. Despite hard use it soldiered on. I liked it.

Google "Tractor rear bucket". There are still quite a few options.

The Pat's Easy Mover looks wide.

Called dirt scoop out in Midwest also. Makes a good makeshift carryall. Howse is one manufacturer that I know of.

Howse is out of business. Bankrupt.

Yep, probably won't hear from the OP, but it still has good info.

Just to keep the Zombie staggering on, there is one for sale in eastern PA Super Pan Loader Bucket - tools - by owner - sale. I have one and while it is not a loader it is pretty useful. I can get under the butt end of downed trees and as long as the front wheels stay on the ground I can drag the tree off to a staging area. Works on stones too.

And so the Zombie will have pictures to show future info seekers after the CL Ad is gone:

Thanks I should have thought of that.
