Description

HLA Attachments MFE66GR66BO500 66-Inch Manure Fork with GR66 Grapple is a hydraulic material-handling attachment designed for manure and similar loose agricultural materials. It combines a 66-inch fork, nine cranked Kverneland tines, and the GR66 regular utility grapple in one practical package. The grapple opens up to 70 inches to accommodate bulky loads, while the BO500 universal skid-steer quick-attach interface makes the attachment suitable for compatible skid-steer-style carriers. With two hydraulic cylinders controlling the grapple, this unit provides the clamping action needed to secure material during loading, transport, and placement.

Built for Agricultural Material Handling

The MFE66GR66BO500 is configured for jobs where a standard bucket may not provide the penetration, separation, or load retention required. Its nine fork tines are arranged on 8-inch centers, creating a working surface suited to handling manure and comparable loose farm materials. The cranked tine design provides a nominal tine length of 35 inches, with 31 inches of usable length for engaging a load.

A flat fork top serves as a level indicator, helping the operator judge the attachment’s position during approach and loading. This is particularly useful when aligning the fork with material at ground level or when positioning the attachment for controlled placement.

GR66 Hydraulic Grapple

The included GR66 regular utility grapple adds hydraulic clamping capability to the 66-inch manure fork. With an opening of up to 70 inches, the grapple can close over bulky or irregular loads that may otherwise shift or spill. Two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders operate the grapple, providing coordinated movement across the attachment.

The hydraulic hose kit is optional rather than included as a published standard feature. Available hose-kit options are HK90 or HK9090, both identified as 90-inch hose-kit configurations. An optional SHMK spring hose-mount kit is also available to help support hose routing on an appropriately equipped carrier.

Compatibility

This attachment uses the HLA BO500 mounting code, identifying a universal skid-steer quick-attach interface. It is intended for carriers equipped with a compatible universal skid-steer carrier or quick-attach system. Confirm the carrier’s mounting interface, hydraulic connections, and attachment-handling capacity before installation.

Hydraulic Requirements

The grapple is supplied with two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders and requires a compatible hydraulic supply from the carrier for grapple operation. Hydraulic hose kits are optional. Manufacturer flow and pressure requirements are not published for this model, so the carrier’s hydraulic compatibility should be confirmed before use.
