Abstract: A trench scoop bucket that can be welded to, or otherwise integrally formed with, bucket that attaches to a tractor, front loader, or any other machinery that can operate a bucket. The trench bucket is attached level with the bottom plate of the bucket and slopes down to a depth to match the dimensions of a trench. The sidewalls of the trench scoop bucket extend vertically downward to match the depth of the trench, and a ramp plate slopes from the bottom plate of the bucket into the trench. Horizontal plates are disposed on either side of the ramp plate and attached to the sidewalls to provide structural support to the ramp plate. The horizontal plates are level with the bottom plate of the trench scoop bucket and can provide alignment of the ramp plate within the trench.
