Skid Steer Manure Spear Grapple Bucket Attachment – Ideal for Livestock & Agricultural Use | Stinger Attachments

Video Overview

Overview

When you're running livestock, managing a farm, or handling daily agricultural chores, you need equipment that works as hard as you do. The Manure Spear Grapple Bucket (MSG) from Stinger Attachments is built specifically for that purpose. It's a dual-action workhorse that combines the penetrating power of spear tines with the gripping strength of hydraulic grapples, giving you the control and versatility to handle everything from pen pack and bedding to brush piles and debris removal.

This isn't just another bucket. It's designed to solve real problems you face every day on the farm or ranch. Feeding livestock, spreading fresh bedding, mucking out pens, or clearing matted silage — these are tasks that eat up your time and test your patience. The Manure Spear Grapple Bucket changes that. It gets under compacted material easily, lifts it cleanly, and holds it securely while you move it where it needs to go.

The eight Conus 2 spear tines are the heart of this attachment. Each tine measures 37 inches long and is spaced 8 inches on center, leaving approximately 6 inches of open space between them. That spacing is intentional. It lets you carry loose material like straw, hay, and bedding without losing it through the bucket, while still allowing dirt and debris to fall through when you're working with brush or other coarse materials. The tines are made from high-grade structural steel and are completely replaceable, so if one gets bent or broken in heavy use, you're not sidelined or looking at a costly repair.

Above the spears, you've got independent hydraulic grapples that open a full 48 inches. These grapples are greasable for long-term performance and smooth operation. They're not an afterthought — they're engineered to work in tandem with the spears. Once the tines pry loose that matted bedding or packed manure, the grapples clamp down and hold everything tight. You get positive control over your load, whether you're stacking, loading, or transporting across uneven ground.

The standard configuration comes with an open back, which is ideal for most livestock and agricultural applications. It allows material to shed off the back if needed and keeps the bucket lighter and more maneuverable. If your operation requires it, Stinger Attachments also offers a closed back option for applications where you need full containment. That flexibility means you can spec the bucket to match your exact workflow.

Forge Claw is proud to distribute Stinger Attachments because they build equipment that holds up under real-world use. This manure grapple is constructed entirely from high-grade structural steel. It's welded, reinforced, and built to take the kind of abuse that comes with daily farm work. You're not babying this thing. You're putting it to work in mud, manure, wet bedding, and rough terrain — and it's going to keep performing.

Standard hookup is a universal skid steer quick attach, but other mounting options are available if you're running a compact tractor or a different machine. The bucket comes equipped with ½-inch flat face hydraulic couplers, making hookup fast and preventing contamination or leaks. You'll spend less time connecting hoses and more time getting the job done.

Available in four sizes — 60, 68, 76, and 84 inches — the Manure Spear Grapple Bucket scales to fit your machine and your operation. Whether you're running a compact skid steer on a small hobby farm or a full-size loader on a commercial livestock operation, there's a size that matches your needs. Weights range from 830 pounds on the 60-inch model to 950 pounds on the 84-inch, giving you the heft and stability needed to handle heavy, unbalanced loads without tipping or losing control.

This attachment isn't limited to manure and bedding, either. It's incredibly versatile. Use it to clear brush and fallen limbs after a storm. Grab and move round bales when you're feeding out in the field. Clean up construction debris or handle landscaping cleanly up. The combination of spears and grapples makes it effective in a wide range of tasks, so you're getting more value and utility from a single piece of equipment.

Benefits

The Manure Spear Grapple Bucket saves you time on every job. Instead of making multiple passes with a standard bucket or manually forking material, you penetrate, lift, and carry in one motion. That means fewer trips back and forth, less fuel burned, and more tasks completed in a day. When you're managing livestock or working a farm, time is money — and this attachment helps you keep both.

Durability translates directly into cost savings. The high-grade steel construction and replaceable components mean this bucket is built to last for years, not seasons. You're not replacing bent frames or dealing with cracked welds after a few months of hard use. The greasable grapples and replaceable spears are designed for maintenance and longevity, so you can keep this attachment running without constant repairs or part replacements.

Productivity goes up when you have the right tool for the job. The dual-action design lets you tackle a wider range of tasks with a single attachment. You're feeding out, mucking pens, clearing brush, moving bales, and handling debris without switching equipment. That versatility means you're getting more value from your investment and keeping your operation moving smoothly.

Operator comfort and control matter, especially during long days. The 48-inch grapple opening and positive clamping force give you confidence when handling heavy or unbalanced loads. You're not fighting the bucket or worrying about material shifting mid-transport. The independent grapples let you adjust grip and control, so you're always in command of your load.

Return on investment comes fast with this attachment. You'll reduce labor costs by eliminating the need for manual handling or additional crew members. You'll cut down on fuel and machine hours by completing jobs faster. And you'll extend the working life of your equipment by using an attachment that's purpose-built for the task, rather than forcing a standard bucket to do work it wasn't designed for.

Job site safety improves when you're using the right equipment. The secure grapple hold and spear penetration mean less risk of loads shifting or falling during transport. You're also reducing the physical strain on operators, which cuts down on fatigue and the potential for injury. When your crew is safer and more confident, productivity stays high and downtime stays low.

Additional Information

The Manure Spear Grapple Bucket is ideal for livestock producers, dairy and cattle operations, horse farms, landowners managing acreage, and agricultural professionals who need a reliable, multi-purpose attachment. It's equally at home on small hobby farms and large commercial operations. Contractors handling site cleanup, landscapers managing brush and debris, and tree service professionals will also find this bucket invaluable for handling awkward, bulky materials.

Compatibility is straightforward. The standard skid steer quick attach fits most modern skid steers and compact track loaders. If you're running a compact tractor, wheel loader, or other machine, contact Forge Claw to discuss mounting options. The ½-inch flat face couplers are compatible with most hydraulic systems, but if you have specific requirements or need adapters, we'll help you get set up correctly.

Operating tips: When working with compacted or matted material, drive the spears in at a slight angle to get under the material, then use the grapples to clamp and lift. Let the tines do the penetrating work, and use the grapples to secure the load once it's free. Greasing the grapple pivot points regularly will keep operation smooth and extend service life. If a spear tine gets bent, replace it promptly to maintain even load distribution and prevent stress on adjacent tines.

Maintenance is minimal but important. Check hydraulic hoses and couplers regularly for wear or leaks. Grease the grapple pivots according to your usage — daily in heavy use, weekly in moderate use. Inspect spear tines for bending or cracking, especially after working in rocky or heavily compacted conditions. Keep the quick attach pins and plate clean and free of debris to ensure secure mounting. With basic care, this attachment will deliver years of reliable performance.
