It will take you a while, but once you get the rythem you will move it pretty fast. I have moved a lot of dirt and gravel with a scoop. No magic only a couple of basics: Get a reversable scoop. You will want to put the opening to the rear, back into the pile while lifting then transport and dump. If you get a scoop with a flat front, you can back up over the pile, drop the scoop and drag the pile forward, spreading it somewhat. Okay, you will want to use a stabilizer or the scoop will wobble all over the place. These are the bars that go to a bracket on the axles. A thing to look for is the trip mechanism on the scoop. The latch should be mounted on the scoop so when you pull the rope it also tips the scoop. The weight of the load will tip the scoop, but this helps get it started. There are a few out there where the latch is on the frame. Finally, I added an "awning pulley" to the middle of the scoop on the top rail. If you try to pull the rope with it just looped over the top, you will get a sore arm mighty fast. Run the rope through an awning pulley or clothesline pulley attached to the top rail with a bolt or u bolt or some manner and the whole thing will pull easier. If you have questions on this, I can shoot a pic and post it or email it. You'll find the little scoop one of the handiest three point accessories you can by. A "poor man's endloader". Have fun JerryU
