Lawn Tractor Front Scoop Review, And Demonstration.

[@JJones-gw9vy]

I realize this video was from 7 years ago but I wanted to say thank you still as it helped me out in my research today. We just got a small 1.25 acre homestead and were looking at options that weren't as tiring as moving gravel with shovel and wheelbarrow all day. I was curious about one of these as we recently picked up a tractor mower. You showed the operation and how the handles worked and that was what I was curious about. Thank you sir! This video was very helpful.

[@FarpointFarms]

I am glad that you found it helpful. Speaking from experience, save your back the best you can. You will thank yourself for doing that

[@SteveM-426]

Man! This Video Sure came in Handy! I got one Second Hand and they were using a Chain to Limit the Scoop Rotation Forward! After Watching your Video I soon Realized that the Limit Stop was Missing and the Rigged up a Chain instead of replacing the Limit Stop. I Truly Love the Scoop on my GT 5000! Thanks for Another Great Video!

[@FarpointFarms]

Glad I could help! These are really great when they are setup right.

[@buildingalegacypa]

That tractor with that scoop on does an amazing amount of work. Thanks for the video!

[@truckdriverthathatesmorons8203]

Great video , Thanks for the tips . I bought one that someone returned for 220 dollars at sears. I did not have it adjusted quite right but it still saved me a lot of work . Now after watching your video I know I can get better clearance and operation.

[@FarpointFarms]

Its a back saver for sure!

[@glenngonzalez9623]

Nice!! Where do you order this exact model from this video I cant find it.

[@kerryrose1934]

Very helpful. Thank you and now I gotta get out there and do those adjustments ✌️

[@FarpointFarms]

Glad to help!

[@thevacuumtubejunky9774]

My neighbor has one of those scoops, in order to keep the bucket from dragging when carrying a heavy load, he welded an axle stub on both sides of the bucket frame bracket and put a steel caster wheel on the axles, still has ground clearance, but keeps the bucket from digging or bottoming out on uneven terrain and binding or bending the brackets and mounting hardware. Thanks for sharing!

[@joshprotz5278]

Great video. Exactly what I’m looking for. Only thing that would be nicer is the ability to raise & lower the bucket like a backhoe.

[@tomgluth4254]

Excellent review as always!

[@JeffHoganSimEdTech]

Thanks again for this -- i had pretty much given up on mine but as you suggested many of my adjustments weren't quite right. this coupled with another video from craftsman about getting it all connected right made a difference. i'm finishing up a 1500 s.f. high tunnel back to eden style thanks to this scoop

[@JeffHoganSimEdTech]

my only challenge is i have it on a riding mower and not a gt. i also am just using chains...so occasionally it's too heavy and won't back up. i have to get off and slide the back end around a few times for it to get traction. backing up even the slightest incline won't happen

[@FarpointFarms]

I'm glad to hear it! Enjoy your scoop, its a back saver for sure.

[@67JD110]

I wish they were still that cheap!! I'm looking for one to install on my 416-8 wheelhorse/toro.

[@znovosad555]

My tractor is old enough to have had its own front end loader. Over 30 years old. Ford LGT 100. Don't feel confident enough in a scoop like this for what I want to do. Thanks for the informative video though!

[@wickerman9569]

You might have done it already and I missed it, but you should take the front wheel bushings out and replace with ball bearings. Some have plastic bushings and some are metal but putting the extra weight on front end will wear those out then it tears up your rims. I’m working on 1 for mine that would work great. Don’t have room in the yard for a big tractor. Thanks for the review

[@chevymanngmail]

The craftsman's I've worked on all have the metal bushings, only known plastic bushings are in the mtd lawn tractor's. But I'll agree, trash the bushings and put in the bearing's! I've done that on my simplicity's , craftsman and the blackmax I bought and fixed that I gave my brother to use to push snow with.

Oh man, I'd love one of these scoops for my Craftsman geared GT5000. It costs me $400 just to rent a skidsteer for one day when I have a lot of dirt and gravel to move. EDIT: Found one locally fall of 2021, used in good condition for $400. Great device.

[@sunshine3914]

And you didn’t have to assemble it!

[@joecrumpler]

If you still have that tractor (or similar model) I have one of the the old style AYP/Husqvarna/Craftsman sleeve hitch that will fit it. I have a Husqvarna GT and a Deere 345 with sleeve hitches and simply don't need it anymore.

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

I'm currently building my own with the electric actuator. 2 cylinders from ebay for $44.00. Each cylinder pushes over 1000 pounds and pulls 900 pounds. Way over kill, but I need both cylinders. 1 to tilt the bucket back and forward to dump and 1 to lift and lower the bucket. 36" wide bucket. 10 gauge material. I will be under $100. The metal was free and I have my own welder. Debated just buying one until I saw the prices. Building it to go on a Troy Bilt 42" riding mower.

[@FarpointFarms]

Very cool! Please send me some pictures when its done.

[@barryhunt5357]

I want one of those scoops !!!!!!

[@robconnect2]

I been thinking of adding Piranha tooth bar. To improve the scrapping capabilities. It will probably get stuck on dumping. Because I had to use the higher set up to dump without the tooth bar. But I really have a tough time leveling some driveways.

[@FarpointFarms]

I'd have to agree with your concerns. I think the tooth bar would interfere with the dumping. It only sits a few inches off the ground and I think it would hit before fully dumping.

[@chevymanngmail]

Robconnect2 have you thought about going with a rear grader blade? I have a craftman version that has the teeth to cut/ break things up that I use. Think brinly makes 1 but only a 38inch on amazon that is a box blade for a sleeve hitch. Mine I can remove the side plates that make it a box blade and the bar with the teeth to use it as a regular grader blade.

[@davidhenri2722]

[@BronkBuilt]

I know this is an older video, so I'm not sure if these are still available anywhere. I simply can not find them. I can only find the $2k+ hydrolic ones. Do you happen to where I can get one of these? I have a JD S130.

[@FarpointFarms]

Amazon has them. They are branded As Husqvarna front tractor scoops.

[@violeman]

Nice mechanical loader but I can see why people are having a problem dumping.. They more then likely do not have as much height on their machines like you do with those rims and tires.. I have a few of those old machines kicking around and those are not stock tires .. So that is probably it!! Thanks 4 sharing bud.

[@chevymanngmail]

Its not really ment for a lawn tractor as it is a garden tractor which would have the bit more height in front. I have 1 of these and the main issue with dumping it is the thing doesn't put enough leverage to the side opposite of the dump arm and if you get a good load in it you can't dump it if more weight is on the 1 side, it is almost as it get's into a bind or something and won't dump it.

[@Renaissance_Repairman]

Fabricate a few brackets, a little welding, Install and wire some heavy duty electric rams, and eliminate those long arms.

[@FarpointFarms]

If you have the skill and the time? Sure!

[@DubiousHandiwork]

I live in New Hampshire and I'd love to get one of these for my craftsman tractor ride-on. I have no idea where I can go to order one or even find these anymore.. do you have any tips for finding them online besides second hand or closeout?

[@FarpointFarms]

Johnny Bucket makes a front scoop style- iI have some videos that show what they are capable of-

[@pondacres]

Last year I bought of these for my Craftsman pro-series gt. It was actually the Agri-Fab one that they had online on clearance, so I thought I was winning big getting it for $270 as opposed to whatever Sears used to charge for it (they don't sell them anymore, but I think it was something like $450 when they did). Well, joke on me, the mounts didn't fit at all...it was built for a Husky tractor. So I fabbed it a bit to mount on my Craftsman, using the snow plow/dozer blade mounts I have mounted on the tractor. Anyways, after all that, I used it once, and surmised I really need a real tractor with a bucket. So now I have MF GC1710! Anybody wanna buy a once-used front scoop for cheap, lol?!!

[@curve5746]

If you still have it I am very interested

[@pondacres]

@@curve5746 I sold it.

[@wickerman9569]

I got a garden tractor just like that. Been building a front loader for it. There is also a way to lock that axle on that so it will push into the gravel are mulch. That transaxle is set up with planetary gears. If I break it I will go back and weld it up, but so far so good. Anyway do you still have the garden tractor? I know this video is a little old. Good luck buddy

[@FarpointFarms]

I sold it this spring, but it served me very well for the two years I used it.

[@chevymanngmail]

I bought the newer model like this approx a 98 with the liquid cooled kawasaki and hydrostatic drive. Paid 75 for it not starting off the key. Took it home and in 10min I had it starting off the key by replacing the brake safety switch. Love the tractor and engine is strong, only issue is rear axle is slooowww you literally move it forward or reverse 3/4 the way before it moves but has all kinds of forward power. If I can't find a replacement axle same as it takes then I'm switching it out to gear drive as I want to be able to use it for pretty much anything and not just mowing. Seen in my profile photo is my approx 03 gt5000 I got on the cheap few yrs ago and been upgrading it making it more useful. Already used it to tear down a camper back in spring.

[@kenmercer8112]

Thanks! 800-1300 new now. looking around but doubt i can find one used. if i get my current tractor started again, i'll save up for next year (for a tractor and this.) not looking forward to assemble.... does it come off when you don't use it?

[@FarpointFarms]

It can come off with a bit of work- not too bad, maybe 10 minutes max

[@mikewestmovies]

Very cool

[@mileinfinityhomestead6280]

How do you feel about this now that you DO have a Johnny Bucket? I bought a GT6000 specifically because of your videos, but I don’t have an electric sleeve hitch actuator YET and don’t have a front scoop at all, so I am trying to decide what upgrades to go with. I do have a plow, disc harrow, scrape blade, and cultivator, trailer, yard sweeper, as well as the mower deck, and so far have only been successful with the last 3. The plow works, but I’m not experienced enough to actually start a garden yet, and everything else doesn’t get enough down pressure to work.

[@FarpointFarms]

I would get the rear electric sleeve hitch, as it will serve you VERY well with the equipment you have already. As for the electric vs. scoop? Well the old scoop was faster, but this johhny bucket is nice on the arms when doing a large amount of gravel or mulch.

[@markweichman3203]

Thanks for the video! I can't wait to get mine working! I have a HD 2185 Cub Cadet and I'm trying to see how to adapt this to my attention tractor. Can you provide how much clearance you have between the ground and the bottom of the lift bucket assembly ? My tractor does not have the pin holes in the frame rails for the shoulder bolt slot or the spring pin holes. I would love to get a couple of pictures of your attachments to your tractor. The agri Fab Manual is pretty vauge. Thanks for your videos there great!!!Mark

[@FarpointFarms]

I can make a video and upload it of the two mounts that come with the kit. I'll see if I can put it together today, but it maybe next Sunday. Can you hold on that long? I'm pretty sure with the two kits that come with it you should be able to modify it to work with your Cub. I know there was a Deere guy that made it work for him last year.

[@CottageGirlInTheCity]

A few years later but I’m wondering how the garden tractor is operating after all these years.

[@FarpointFarms]

Yes, it's still chugging along.

[@tomfredrickson-hx2dz]

Maybe the reviews of complaints have smaller tires than you. Those tires you have don't look like they came with the mower.

[@FarpointFarms]

They are stock for this tractor, but it's possible that the complaints came from folks using riding mowers. Those usually come with smaller front rims.

[@NewBeginningswithBudhiandCyndi]

I just saw this video and wondered if you could use the front loader to actually level out an area for a driveway and flatten a yard. We too are in NC and have two acres that are very un-level that we are working on.

[@FarpointFarms]

It can't be used to back blade an area. It can scoop up uneven spots and dump them into low spots, but it's not for grading. You may want to look at a back blade for that kind of work.

[@NewBeginningswithBudhiandCyndi]

@@FarpointFarms thank you for the info

[@anthonypacholek]

What do you have installed on the back tires of most of your mowers/tractors?

[@FarpointFarms]

Most have tire chains- Even with ag tires I need the extra traction. Living in the mountains- there is no flat ground and it can be dangerous to mow

[@FarpointFarms]

I'd figure on one really long day, or two shorter ones. I've moved 16 yards of gravel in a day with mine and that is much more of a pain that moving mulch. Smaller bucket loads and such.

So it would work for a jd lt166

[@samuelneil2691]

It seems they are selling these at Lowes now, but it is not under Craftsman it is under Husqvarna. And now it costs 625 bucks. I could really use one of these around my 1.8 acre property. Do you think it would put too much strain on a 19 HP lawn tractor? Thanks

[@chevymanngmail]

I wouldn't use it on anything with 20inch rear tires or smaller. The frame's are not heavy enough to do alot with on most. If planning on moving anything more then a few shovels of dirt or mulch, you will need a garden tractor like in the above video. Not specifically a craftsman but just about any will due. I used mine on a 03 mtd garden tractor. I do suggest weights or liquid fill your rear tires for tractor to offset the weight your moving and also don't expect to be able to turn till you start moving if have amount of weight in the bucket.

[@punkyroo]

I recently got a John Deere Lawn Tractor, but can't find an attachment specifically for John Deere. I wonder if this would work.

[@FarpointFarms]

I'm not positive, but I don't think this will fit a Deere. For a considerable amount more money, I believe Jonny bucket jr. will fit.

Since Sears is now about gone, Husqvarna is now the main supplier of these. Don't forget there is also the incredible Johnny Bucket Jr. for these.

[@jerry465]

Did you notice a huge difference with your tire upgrade? do you feel the weights are a must have?

[@FarpointFarms]

I've used this thing id say 50/50 with the first 50 on a stock lt1000 It had no ag tires and no chains, and no weight. I still managed to move 40 yards of mulch and 16 yards of gravel. Now its got the setup you see in this video, and I haven't really seen that much of a change in overall usability. Its a little more stable going up hills with a load in the bucket, but it works much the same. So I guess I'd say there is not enough of a change to warrant the tires and weights unless you need them for gardening or snow plowing as well.

[@jerry465]

Farpoint Farms Thanks! I bought the scoop for mulching, and I am on the fence on the tire upgrade. I'll wait till the stock tires are end of life.

[@davidhenri2722]

To anyone else who reads this comment. If you got hilly terrain it does help but I opted to fill my tires with winshield washer fluid andbhas been fine for a year and a half now. Fewer spin outs with turf tires and add chains in winter. I was able to put 14 jugs of washer fluid in the two rear tires. Makes it more stable and cheaper then weight kit.

[@janetwood3792]

Will it fit a zero turn

Nice unit's, I have a John Deere S240 and have been looking for something that will fit just like this, you mentioned Agri-Fab so I contacted them and they said they hadn't made this unit since 2010 and it was made for Sears, they had no idea if it would fit John Deere or any other brand, it was designed for Sears. I would hate to buy it and find that it's not usable even if it's altered. The main issue is the width of the engine frame, if that's standard it should work. Can you tell me how wide is the engine frame where the side plates mount? I'd appreciate it and it would help in deciding the fitment or alterations. Thanks

[@FarpointFarms]

I am helping a friend move after work for the next few nights, but if you remind me next Thursday or Friday, I'd be happy to take those measurements. I think you would be able to adapt it over. The kit comes with two full sets of brackets to fit various models. I'll show you what I mean when we talk again. just remind me next week and I'll let you know.

It's good up to a full bucket of mulch or about 1/2 a bucket of soil or rock. I've moved close to 100 yards of gravel with mine over the last 7 years, and other then making adjustments every once and a while its been good. If you go much over 200-250lbs per scoop the lift lever becomes harder to use. Once you get used to it, you learn how big a scoop to take out of whatever it is that you are working on.

When you have a full bucket, does the right lever become heavy to pull down or does it have some system

[@FarpointFarms]

It has a total load capacity of about 200 pounds per bucket load. With the leverage that the unit has I would guess that even fully loaded it is no more than maybe 10-15 pounds of force to operate it. Let me put it this way. I moved 16 tons of gravel in less than 6 hours, and I was tired, but not worn out, and nowhere near as exhausted as I would have been if I had tried to shovel it into wheel barrel loads.

[@explorewithshayne]

You're a hero

[@thegardentractor4715]

Kind of bullsh.. You have GT and all GTs have larger front wheels 8" that makes tractor taller from the ground. And the ones that have usually issues are equipped with smaller 6" wheels. So yes it works on GT and yes you will have clearance issues on models with smaller wheels.

Yikes, I thought my bx23s was small

[@hindustani8940]

Design or drawing for this

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

Good luck on that. You're better off just taking pictures of one.

Farpoint You wouldn't be a fan of Star Trek would you?

[@FarpointFarms]

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

I have a craftsman. But Sears went out of business.

[@FarpointFarms]

Its a bummer, but I have great news. Lowes home improvement is rumored to be getting ready to sell craftsman branded mowers at their stores.

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

Farpoint Farms I hope so :) I shouldn't be surprised. Thanks.

[@fracturedhearts3734]

I got a 97 GT 5000 and a 2003 one hydro the other 3 speed with hi lo.

[@Fabricking24]

Better off buying a real tractor not worth the money at all

[@FarpointFarms]

I am lucky enough to have saved up the 25k for a "Real Tractor", but the fact is not everyone can. These are real enough that they got my farm going and served me very well for years and years. I still own a Garden Tractor and use it far more often for projects than my "Real Tractor". A decked out GT with all the toys is 5K Max. My 12 year old Kubota BX25D with no added toys came in just under 20K. To add a mowing deck, and a rear tiller made it 25K. Just not worth it for many home owners that have small farms. This will do about 90% of what the Kobota will. No backhoe, but short of that they are both very capable critters. Paid $40 for the 1994 Craftsman GT in this video and it's still going 6 years later.
