Abstract: The present invention relates to a material handling implement adapted to be connected to and powered by the three-point hitch of a conventional farm tractor. The material handling implement comprises a main frame structure that attaches to the three-point hitch of said farm tractor and extends generally rearwardly therefrom. A pivotably mounted scoop or shovel assembly is disposed about the rearmost portion of said main frame structure and includes a pivotably mounted counterbalanced scoop or shovel whose digging angle and dumping operation may be controlled from the tractor's operator station. The particular counterbalancing of the scoop or shovel causes the scoop or shovel to automatically return to a digging position after dumping. For dumping the shovel or scoop, a manually actuated dumping control mechanism is associated with said material handling implement and disposed such that the same may be actuated from the tractor's operator station.
