Yet another slightly offbeat assignment...

Dougster,

Didn't see this tread until now. Did you get and complete the job?


I did have a thought that no one else seems to have brought out. Why not use the 3pt and build a rear dumping scoop? You do have hydraulic top, right? Back up to the trailer and get a scoop, drive over, dump and repeat.

Would be more $$ as those expensive 3/4" ply wood funnels, but could be used for many other chores.

John,
I had a 3PH reversible scoop (sold it last weekend ) with my old 54hp Ford. To load the scoop from a trailer, you would have to drive the rear wheels up into the trailer, with more material coming out on the ground then in the scoop. Also, the scoop uses a trip latch attached to a rope or cable you put to dump it. You don't need a hydraulic top link to use a scoop.
