Description
HLA Attachments MFE54BO500 54-Inch Manure Fork is a durable manure and livestock-handling attachment designed for loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier. Its seven cranked Conus I Kverneland tines provide superior penetration when working with manure and other livestock materials, while the 54-inch width offers a practical balance of capacity and manoeuvrability. Each tine measures 35 inches long, with 31 inches of usable length, giving the fork ample reach for loading, moving and handling material around barns, yards and livestock operations.
Designed for Effective Material Penetration
The MFE54 manure fork uses seven cranked Conus I Kverneland tines arranged on 8.5-inch centres. This tine configuration is designed to penetrate material effectively, helping the fork enter manure and livestock bedding rather than simply pushing against it. The generous 31-inch usable tine length supports secure material handling while providing the reach needed for routine farm and livestock work.
The 8.5-inch measurement refers to the spacing between the tine centres. The full tine length is 35 inches, ensuring the fork has the depth required for practical loading and carrying applications.
Flat-Top Level Indicator
The fork’s flat top serves as a convenient visual level indicator. This feature helps the operator judge the attachment’s position from the cab, making it easier to keep the fork appropriately aligned while approaching, entering or carrying material. It is a straightforward design detail that can improve control during repetitive handling tasks.
Universal Skid-Steer Quick-Attach Mount
This configured model includes HLA’s BO500 mounting interface. The BO500 configuration is intended for a universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier, allowing the manure fork to be connected to compatible loaders without a dedicated pin-on mounting arrangement. The quick-attach design is useful for operations that regularly switch between buckets, forks and other loader attachments.
