Slip Scoop

[Anonymous-0]

I bought a used 3 point slip scoop for use as a "poor man's rear end loader" for moving dirt and rocks. It loads and carries just fine. The problem is that it takes three men and a gorilla to trip the bucket when there is any weight in it. Does anyone have any suggestions for making the trip lever any easier to pull?

Let your scoop down to the ground, take the pressure off it, then trip your bucket and raise your scoop.

is this a pull rope trip, or (i think) a lever with linkage? i had a lever type that was very hard to dump, then traded for a rope pull, that was easier to dump. i don't what you could do to help. maybe a longer lever? dennis
