Aggie, Unfortunately, I would say no. You may be able to get it half full or to struck in really easy dirt, but IMO, you won't have enough HP. You would really need to be closer to 150 HP to load that thing without tearing up your tractor.

Have you guys ever heard of a Lehmann scraper?
About 30 years ago at the North Queensland Field Days in Australia an old guy (when I was 19 anyone over 40 was OLD) was running around with an old grey fregie (kero driven I think) and he had what I remember to be a 4 yard elevating scraper bowl behind it. The elevator was driven off the pto and that little rig ran for 3 days straight and never stopped for anything other than guys taking photos...............
At the time we were young and proud of our big tractors and scrapers but I have to say that we left that place with an appreciation of the ability of that little scraper.
There aren't too many of them around these days but they are out there. I don't remember seeing any of the smaller ones like that little one in my travels since but I'm sure you could build something.

When I was 21 and only worried about 2 things beer and women I missed the opportunity to buy an old Hancock 5 yard paddle wheel. It was on 2 wheels with a tongue and had a pto paddle wheel. The owner showed it working on a 4000 Ford 2wd ag tractor; I could have bought the thing for 2500 dollars. He sold it and it left the country and Ive never seen it again or one like it. I wished a thousand times to have gotten it. I would have put in on my 3550 TLB with the hoe off and used the hydraulics to run the elevator.
