yes,it has a trip bucket on it. I haven't put a pull cord on it yet. I think it pretty much operates like a 3 point scoop, in that you have to drive it into the dirt with the tractor, that's a good idea you got adding a long hydraulic cylinder in place of that long toplink . It is actually two or three toplinks welded together, and everytime you want to dig deeper, I'm guessing you have to get off the tractor and adjust it. I think the biggest headache will be not being able to swing it side to side to dump the bucket. but hey, I got time as long as I am just using it around the house, I figured as long as it would save me some shoveling, it was worth the hundred bucks. I got ditches that need cleaned and drain lines to dig for downspouts. what do you think something like this would be worth new at a farm supply store or implement dealer? I seen three point dirt scoops for $200, and I would rather have this thing than a scoop, so my guess is maybe three hundred new, but I really don't know for sure. the bucket is quarter inch steel, and the teeth are solid steel, it is built much stronger than a dirt scoop. my only concern I guess is adjusting it properly to fit my 9n , the boom requires me to remove the tractor toplink, and it has a boom within the boom that is adjustable with a bolt on top that goes thru both of them, I'll figure it out as I go I guess, first time I ever seen one or heard of one.
