Have used both 3pt scoop and blade on my Farmall 200. Neither the blade or the scoop will cut into good sod satisfactorally. Using the down pressure succeeds in lifting the rear of the tractor and the wheel(s) spin. A box blade with digging tines might work better, or find some way to cut up the sod first - maybe a disk. Other problem you'll find is that a scoop isn't as wide as the wheels, and after a couple passes, you've dug about all you can, so you move over, and one wheel is in the trench the other on level. Doesn't work real well. Use my box scoop mostly for hauling gravel out of gravel pit in back field to dump in driveway.
