Here's mine. I was using it here to back in and collect dirt since I was shoveling it out to build molts around a bunch of trees I planted earlier this Spring.
Between my scoop and my box blade, I moved allot of dirt this summer.
When I was cleaning out the pond I took one of the member's suggestions here and turned scoop around to pick up dirt on the move. I added a good rope to the bucket and once I raised the rope I cut it just long enough to hook to my umbrella bracket on my fenders so that when I lowered the scoop just a bit it would release the bucket and dump. Once it closed I'd simply unhook the rope an hook it on the control arm adjuster until I got another load.
I think I was getting about a 1/3 of a yard per load. Maybe more, maybe less.
Good luck and account for some time and gas. It's slow going but like you said, better than a shovel and wheel barrow.
