Spent some time with the old rusty scoop, hit all the pivots with WD-40 and raised it up on the 3-point and rocked it as far as I could a few times then hit it with more WD and then did it a few more times...Can not believe how well the scoop worked and it dumped real easy from the seat. Love it! It's going to make a big difference on my 40 acres. Wish I got this working earlier and used it, had no Idea it would be this easy and this useful.

I have heard that these scoops were used a lot to dig farm ponds...that must have take a lot of time with this method...any of you ever do that?

Glad to hear you got your scoop loosened up. I dug out an area 50 x 100 x 18 in deep in soft dirt in a couple hrs for a septic system once. I have also seen basements dug with them. It goes pretty fast if you can get a cirle going so you don't have to stop or backup. Have fun with your scoop.

I have used a pond scoop to dig asparagus beds. It sure beat a shovel. And I found if you make a sort of oval track, and dump the dirt out on the back "straightaway", you can dig it out and then re fill when you have added your soil enhancers.
Just keep going in a circle.

A video I got from N-news shows several N's digging out a farm pond. It looked to me to be a slow way to do it but what alteratives existed back then?
I just got a scoop (not a Dearborne) and it sure seems like a great way to have a small pickup/super wheelbarrow on a 'N' tractor. With easy loading and unloading.

N - joy.

i got the same video. most of the ponds dug with them were small and probably not deeper tha 4-8'. my guess not too much of a grade angle on sides of pond either. but if all you got is time and gas why not?

Mine is not a Dearborn. It's 24" wide. I have used it to move some home made stacked rock flower bed walls. I could only pick up 3-4 large rocks at a time and them move them about 1/4 mi. Seemed very inefficient until I considered my other alternatives, which would have been to load them by hand in a wheel barrow. The tractor is much easier and more fun. (BIG GRIN)
I believe it could scoop out a sizeable depression if mounted with the opening toward the front, and then using draft control. It would still take a lot of trips, but it would get it done.
