I think you'll be ok, I just sold one for $120, so you got a great buy, mine was a reversible one, hook it up one way and you drive forward and scoop, the other way, backwards scoops. If you find that you are taking too much bite, tighten or loosen the top link and it will control the angle of bite. Mine had a "remote" lever that you could reach over and dump. Trial and error and you will be surprised what it will do - good luck and happy digging

I had to switch the pins from pointing out to pointing in to work on my B8200. It worked great after that.
You might have to have some front weight depending on what your carrying in the scoop.
