I have a Massey scoop. It's about 30 inches wide. In the last few weeks I moved about 15 yards of dirt with it. I took some time but sure beats a shovel and wheelborrow. Once you get your cordination in place, it will go fairly fast. I backed up to the pile as fast as I could to load the scoop. It my clay dirt, it's hard to fill the back of the scoop so a wider one would be better for me. Once I unloaded it, I would bump the scoop on the ground to latch it. The release rope is a problem. I got nervous with this rope on my lap, what if it got cought on the pto or elsewhere so I tied it to the fender yesterday. I'm considering adding a release lever on the tractor for it since its hard to pull or add a pulley like mentioned in the other response. I think a scoop and box blade are my 2 favorite tools. I really does not matter how long it takes to move the dirt, It's the joy of being on the tractor that counts.
