using a 3 point scoop

I have both a three point scoop and a heavy built 7' boxblade that I use behind my WD and WD45. In my opinion the scoop is better suited for moving piles of loose dirt / material, although I have dug large holes with them. I liked the box blade better because it is wider than my tractor tread. With those scarifier teeth, you can peel off the top inch or two of ground, until the box is full, then just float your three point while you drag the box full of dirt whereever you need to move it. If you are filling in a ditch, you could straddle it with the box blade; or if it is a big ditch, you could raise the box and dump the load in front of ditch, then turn around and back into it to backfill the ditch.

Just a suggestion...

Well I couldn't resist the temptation to use it behind my JD 2520 (60 hp category 2 tractor). It actually worked quite well but it has its limitations. If you don't expect it to perform like a front end loader you will probably be satisfied.

I made the mistake one day of digging into a dirt pile that was partially frozen. The hydraulics on my 2520 were more than the dirt scoop could handle. I bent the frame into pretzel shape. I only have myself to blame.
