A slip (also sometimes called a scoop, scraper, or road scraper) was the common implement for moving dirt when doing such things as digging ponds or making fills where large volumes of dirt were needed. Slips came in several sizes, but would normally scoop up about a quarter of a cubic yard of dirt at a time, and were pulled by two horses. The one shown above is in the dumped position.
