I've used both a pond scoop and a box blade on a newer tractor with a 3 point hitch. No experience with Fast Hitch. However, here's my experience. In sod, you won't do much good with just a box blade unless you have one with rippers on it. With the rippers you can do it, but will be slow going. The pond scoop will work too, but also slow, but I think you can get the job done if you keep at it. The pond scoop will leave a pot hole landscape that will need to be smoothed out. Nearly impossible to smooth it up with the scoop, but easy with the box blade. Both of these things work best in loose dirt, gravel or sand, etc. The suggestion below to spray the sod with roundup a few weeks before you do it is a good one and will make the job easier.
