Three point scoop

[Markyyg]

Good morning, I’m tossing around the idea of making a rear scoop! I’m going to be pouring a concrete curb that will make a barrier between my grass and my gravel driveway 4 or 5 inches wide and 4 inches deep,all straight lines and I’m thinking I might be able to fab something up. Any ideas from the gallery? Thank you in advance

How long of curb are you planning? One suggestion is to pit a 3/8ths or 1/2" rebar in the center of it so it won't separate when it breaks. And it will break as the ground moves. years ago I laid a little block wall and cap to separate the grass and gravel drive...it's just 1 to 2 course high and it has worked very well.
As for pouring curb you will need to move a lot and if you are bag mixing...you may just want to tow the mixer along and pour directly into the forms.

What do you want to use the scoop for? Digging a trench, transporting material, etc?
Any reason why you can't use the tractor FEL bucket as a scoop? If you want something on the rear of the tractor, you can use one of these 3pt to SSQA adapters. That way you can attach your FEL bucket to your 3pt hitch and use it as a scoop.

A farmer down the road had one on his old Massey 135 - a beautiful heavy 35 hp tractor but it didn't have a FEL or power steering.

He used a 3pt mounted rear scoop for moving dirt or carrying anything heavy. It would scoop dirt moving forward or in reverse, then lift and dump.

Implement companies still make rear scoops....called dirt scoops or sometimes pond scoops. Used to be used for cleaning ditches.
Before FEL and power steering became common those old 3pt scoops were found on most farms.

Used this on the Yanmar. Great for Gravel Rd's. Esp being Reversable. Move the Lower Pins to the other forward location. I had two sets mounted the Yrs. I used it. Piece of cake to change that way!

I have an extra FEL bucket that I use as a scoop on the 3pt when moving a lot of material around. That way, I can carry a bucket load front and rear. Works particularly well with a hyd. top link.

The adapter also works well for attaching other SSQA implements to the 3pt like a bale spear or even a FEL plow.

If you have a hyd. tilt cylinder, you can also adjust the angle of the bucket when grading. That's something you can't easily do with a FEL bucket.

I've used single shank subsoiler to loosen dirt for manual removal with a shovel. Getting a nice straight and narrow line was tough. It was straight enough to bury 4" PVC but I guess it would be too sloppy for your application.

Something with a cross section you describe doesn't sound like it would hold up very long here where we get freezing and thawing. Have you calculated the concrete? An 80# bag of concrete has about 0.6CF and with a 4" wide x 4" tall curb would do less than 6" of length.
