Skid Steer Manure Tine Grapple Bucket Attachment – Heavy-Duty Barn and Livestock Work | Stinger Attachments

Overview

When you're running a livestock operation or managing a farm, there's no getting around the dirty work. Feeding animals, spreading bedding, cleaning pens, and hauling manure are daily tasks that demand equipment built to handle the mess without slowing you down. That's exactly what the Manure Tine Grapple Bucket from Stinger Attachments delivers — a heavy-duty, versatile attachment designed to make barn chores faster, easier, and more efficient.

This isn't just another grapple bucket. The MTG combines aggressive tines with a powerful grapple design, giving you the ability to dig under matted bedding, break up compacted pen pack, and grab hold of loose material all in one attachment. Whether you're mucking out stalls, loading manure into a spreader, or hauling silage and hay, this bucket handles it all with confidence.

Manufactured by Stinger Attachments and distributed nationwide by Forge Claw, the Manure Tine Grapple Bucket is built from structural-grade steel — the same material used in heavy-duty construction and industrial equipment. You're getting shop-quality construction that's designed to last through years of tough ranch and farm work. Every weld, every joint, and every component is engineered to hold up under real-world abuse.

The 40-inch tines are positioned at a 45-degree angle, making it easy to slide under bedding, loose straw, and compacted manure. They're spaced 8 inches on center, which leaves about a 6-inch gap between each tine — perfect for carrying loose material without losing half your load on the way to the spreader or compost pile. Once you've loaded the bucket, the grapple closes down to secure everything in place, so you're not worried about spillage or shifting loads.

What really sets this attachment apart is its versatility. Sure, it's called a manure grapple, but it does a whole lot more than clean out pens. You can use it for brush clearing, debris removal, handling logs and limbs, spreading gravel, moving landscaping material, and tackling general cleanup around the property. The tines give you the bite you need to dig into tough materials, while the grapple gives you the control to handle bulky or awkward loads.

Forge Claw is proud to offer this attachment with fast nationwide shipping, making it easier than ever to upgrade your operation without worrying about freight costs or delivery headaches. We work with contractors, farmers, ranchers, and landowners across the country who need reliable equipment that shows up ready to work. The Manure Tine Grapple Bucket is one of those tools that quickly becomes indispensable once you start using it.

The frame is built from 4x4-inch square tubing, giving the entire bucket a rigid, solid foundation that won't flex or twist under heavy loads. The sidewalls are reinforced with 1/4-inch thick bushing stock, and the 2-inch cold-rolled steel shafts run through those bushings to ensure smooth, consistent movement even after thousands of cycles. This is the kind of construction you want when you're working long days in tough conditions.

One of the smartest design features on this bucket is the replaceable tine system. If you bend or break a tine — and let's be honest, it happens when you're digging into frozen ground or hitting hidden debris — you don't have to replace the entire bucket or weld on a repair. Each tine bolts in and can be swapped out individually. That saves you time, money, and downtime, which is exactly what you need on a working farm or ranch.

The grapple itself is built from 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch steel, with 1-inch greaseable pins that keep everything moving smoothly. The grapple opening height is 45 inches, so you can grab big loads in a single pass and maximize your productivity. Whether you're stacking round bales, loading brush piles, or hauling out bedding, that extra height means fewer trips and more work done per hour.

You also get a choice between an open back or closed back design. The standard configuration is open back, which is ideal for most manure and bedding applications because it allows material to shed naturally and prevents buildup inside the bucket. If you're planning to use the bucket for finer materials or want more containment, the closed back option is available and works great for gravel, mulch, and similar materials.

The bucket has a 75-degree back angle, which helps with loading and dumping efficiency. Material rolls in cleanly when you're scooping, and it dumps out quickly when you're ready to unload. That angle also gives you better visibility from the cab, so you can see what you're doing without constantly repositioning your machine.

Available in four sizes — 60, 68, 76, and 84 inches — the MTG fits a wide range of skid steers and gives you the flexibility to match the bucket width to your machine's lift capacity and your specific job requirements. Smaller operations and compact machines work great with the 60-inch model, while larger farms and higher-capacity loaders benefit from the added width and volume of the 84-inch option.

Stinger Attachments has built a reputation among farmers and ranchers for producing equipment that actually holds up to the demands of agricultural work. This isn't equipment designed by engineers who've never set foot on a farm. It's built by people who understand what it takes to get through a day's work without breaking down or wasting time on repairs. That's the kind of reliability Forge Claw stands behind, and it's why we're confident offering this attachment to our customers nationwide.

If you've been making do with a standard bucket or trying to get by with equipment that wasn't built for the job, you'll immediately notice the difference when you start using the Manure Tine Grapple Bucket. Tasks that used to take multiple passes or required switching between attachments now get done in one go. You'll spend less time working and more time moving on to the next job, which is exactly what efficiency looks like on a working property.

Benefits

The Manure Tine Grapple Bucket saves you time on every task. Instead of making multiple trips with a standard bucket or switching between a grapple and a fork, you handle the entire job with one attachment. Load manure, grab bedding, move brush, and clean pens without ever leaving the cab or swapping equipment. That kind of efficiency adds up fast, especially when you're managing daily chores across multiple animals or properties.

Durability translates directly into cost savings. When your equipment holds up through years of hard use without bending, breaking, or needing constant repairs, you're not spending money on replacements or downtime. The replaceable tine system is a perfect example — instead of scrapping the entire bucket or paying for expensive welding repairs, you bolt in a new tine and get back to work. That's smart design that protects your investment.

The tine and grapple combination gives you unmatched versatility. You're not limited to one type of material or one kind of job. Handle wet, compacted manure in the morning, clear brush piles in the afternoon, and load round bales in the evening — all with the same attachment. That flexibility means you're getting more value from every dollar spent, and you're able to tackle a wider range of tasks without maintaining a full fleet of specialized equipment.

Productivity improvements show up immediately. The 45-inch grapple opening lets you grab bigger loads, so you're moving more material per cycle and finishing jobs faster. The angled tines dig into packed or matted material with less effort, reducing strain on your machine and operator fatigue. When you're working long days, those small improvements in efficiency make a big difference in how much you can accomplish.

This bucket is built to last through the toughest conditions farms and ranches can throw at it. Frozen ground, abrasive materials, heavy loads, and constant use don't slow it down. The structural-grade steel and reinforced construction handle abuse that would destroy lighter-duty attachments, giving you confidence that your equipment will show up ready to work every single day.

Real-world value comes from equipment that performs reliably without constant babysitting or repairs. The greaseable pins, replaceable tines, and heavy-duty shafts are designed for easy maintenance and long service life. You're not dealing with complicated hydraulics, fragile components, or parts that wear out after a season. This is straightforward, tough equipment built for operators who need results, not headaches.

When you add up the time savings, reduced labor, lower repair costs, and increased versatility, the Manure Tine Grapple Bucket pays for itself faster than you'd expect. It's the kind of attachment that becomes a go-to tool on your property, handling jobs you didn't even realize it could tackle until you put it to work.

Additional Information

This attachment is ideal for livestock producers, dairy and cattle operations, horse farms, rural landowners, and anyone managing properties with animals or heavy organic material. It's equally effective on small hobby farms and large commercial operations. Contractors and landscapers also find value in the MTG for brush clearing, debris removal, and general site cleanup work.

The Manure Tine Grapple Bucket is designed for use with skid steers equipped with standard universal quick attach mounting systems. Make sure your machine's hydraulic flow and lift capacity are appropriate for the size and weight of the bucket you choose. Larger models require higher-capacity machines to operate safely and efficiently. If you have questions about compatibility with your specific equipment, Forge Claw's team is available to help you choose the right size.

For best results, keep the grapple pins greased regularly and inspect tines periodically for damage or wear. When digging into frozen or compacted material, use controlled movements to avoid unnecessary stress on the tines and frame. If a tine does bend, replace it promptly to maintain balanced performance and prevent additional damage. Store the attachment in a dry location when not in use to protect against rust and extend component life.

Operating the MTG is straightforward. Use the tines to dig under and break up material, then close the grapple to secure the load before lifting or transporting. The open back design allows excess dirt and debris to shed naturally, keeping your load cleaner and reducing weight. When dumping, the bucket's back angle ensures material releases cleanly without sticking or requiring multiple cycles to empty completely.
