: : : : : Was reading the posting down below a bit and was wondering what a dirt pan is? Is it a box scraper? : : : : Not quite. It's a scoop that attaches to a three-point hitch. It's in the form of a three sided box, open to the rear. You back up with the scoop lowered, lip slightly lower than horizontal so it'll cut, and when the scoop is full, pick it up and go and dump it somewhere. Similar to a front end loader, but cheaper, easier on the tractor (especially those with somewhat delicate front ends, like little Farmalls and N seriers Fords) and LOTS cheaper. : : : 'pears that the one they're talking about is open to the front, so you can fill it going forward. 'taint the way I remember my Uncle's working, but that was 30-mumble years ago, so I probably got it bass-ackwards. The principle is the same, however. Darned effective for the money. Central Tractor shows one for $240, fella could probably fab one up for less than that. : : I hear you fella's talk about Central tractor. Where are they located and can I get a catalogue. : Norm, there are several stores. If you call 1-888-828-3276, you can get a mail order catalog. The address on mine is Des Moines, IA, which I suspect is their central office. I didn't know it as a dirt pan, I know it as a 3 point scoop bucket. They do work really well. I have one. By the way, they are reversible. You can have it back into the dirt or pull forward. You just attach it at either end.
