Can someone tell me what this is

[Number15]

and what it is used for? Found a bunch of attachments in the woods on my property I just purchased. I can figure out the others but I have no idea what this is. I'm very new to this so if it's obvious then apologies

It's a 3pt Dirt scoop. Can be setup as push or pull configuration.

It was a lot more popular for smaller tractors before front loaders started to be a lot more common.

3-Point Dirt Scoop, Dirt Scoop, Dirt Scoop For Tractor

This 3-Point dirt scoop is heavy duty and versatile. The dirt scoop can be used to haul dirt, mulch and gravel or reversed to create ditches and scrap soil.

Thanks, makes sense now. especially because the tractor that was here had no FEL

Some people swear by them, and other swear at them. It was one of those things that was probably better than a shovel and a wheelbarrow. In skilled hands, quite a bit of dirt work could be accomplished with one.

Still useful with front loader, if you are moving a lot of dirt. Saves trips.

They work great for digging or scooping out for sidewalks.

Thats called a drag pan. We had one for the 8N when I was a teen. Works like a champ. forward, reverse, its all good. That is a useful implement.

I let mine go with my 855 when I sold it. There are times I wish I had it back.

Pretty handy for skidding logs too. Scoop up the end and put the chain on.

Many yesterday famers use them around here for manure.
