Yes, i've used one a fair bit. Its kinda like a poor mans FEL. Ballasting your tractor "could" still be necessary on the front. you can move lots of material from a pile or dig up from the surface. they dont spread, they dump is the only down side. I just sold mine because I finished its chore list. they are fairly inexpensive and plentiful in my area, 2 hrs NW of you. if I need another one $150 will find one. as long as it has a good cutting edge, everything else can be taken care of easily.
Here is a vid or a similar model: http://youtu.be/KltmD4mpm-Y
I had an old one back in the 1970's on my Fergie T20 and found that if you want to level an area it was best to scoop out one trench then take out the second trench one scoop width away from the first so you have a series of hills and valleys.Then take the hills out with the wheels in the valleys.By doing it this way the scoop remains parallel with the ground.

Gurn, I wish you were closer. I have one from TSC that has never been used that I would give you a good deal on.

Yes, I have one and use it a lot. Use it when I have topsoil delivered to scoop and dump, dont even have to get off the tractor, used it for gravel, used it to remove gravel.....a cheap attachment I couldn't live without (until i get a tractor with a loader), paid 200$ used for mine
$190 would be half price, or make me an offer.
