I was scanning Craig's List the other day and I found something I didn't know existed. A gravel scoop.
Bessie has been an awesome tractor, especially considering it is only two years younger than me. I've been using the manure bucket as a bulldozer blade of sorts to scrape gravel out of a stream bed for fill in the driveway. One of the problems, of course, is that the gravel is wet and so very heavy. This results in hydraulic fluid leaks.
A gravel scoop attaches to the aft end of the tractor to the three point hitch. It can be pulled or pushed.

It has a spring loaded release lever so it can be dumped.
Since I'm still recovering from spinal surgery, I haven't attempted to mount it on Bessie yet. But here is a video of how it works -
It should make life a lot easier, especially digging dry gravel out of a gravely spot on our property. It might also come in handy for digging drainage ditches, burying pipes, and so on. Another toy!
