Using Traditional Dirt Scoops
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Before mechanized equipment, much of the digging for seller holes, ponds, and other items was done by teams of oxen, horses or single animals pulling a scoop. In April of 2024 several of us brought some antique scoops to Eastern Connecticut to dig out a wash and fill in some ruts and a cornfield.

Great video! I love seeing people keeping these old skills around and showing how it was done. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for watching!
Were the scoops always flat or are there variations with other shapes or profiles? I am intrigued. This looks like a good way to dig ditches or cut in trails.

All of the ones that I’ve seen are flat or slightly concave bottoms. I would imagine there’s some other types, but that’s what I am used to. They work extremely well, better than people would think.
