HLA Attachments MFE72GRS66BO500 72-Inch Hydraulic Manure Fork with GRS66 Grapple combines a wide manure fork, durable cranked Kverneland tines, and a hydraulically operated skid-steer grapple for efficient livestock and material-handling work. Its 72-inch working width provides broad coverage, while 8-5/8-inch tine spacing and a 46-inch maximum grapple opening help the operator gather, hold, and move manure and other suitable materials. The GRS66 grapple is designed for skid steers with limited grapple-arm clearance, making this attachment a practical choice where space around the loader linkage is restricted.
The MFE72GRS66BO500 uses 35-inch Conus I cranked Kverneland tines with a 31-inch usable length. The cranked tine design provides the working profile required for manure-fork applications, while the 8-5/8-inch tine centres create a consistent carrying surface across the attachment’s nominal 72-inch width.
A GRS66 skid-steer grapple adds hydraulic clamping capability to help retain material during pickup, transport, and placement. The grapple opens to a maximum of 46 inches and is operated by two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders. This configuration gives the operator active control over the load rather than relying on the fork alone to carry loose or shifting material.
The fitted GRS66 grapple is intended for skid steers where grapple-arm clearance is limited. Its 46-inch opening provides room to receive and secure material, while the dual hydraulic-cylinder arrangement controls the grapple during loading and unloading. The manure fork and grapple work together as a complete hydraulic material-handling attachment, reducing the need to change between a conventional fork and a separate clamping attachment.
This model is supplied with HLA’s BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach mounting configuration. Compatibility must be confirmed for the specific loader or skid steer by make, model, carrier type, operating capacity, and hydraulic setup. The host machine must also have adequate capacity for the attachment’s approximate 765 lb weight plus the intended load.
The grapple is hydraulically operated by two 2-1/2 x 8-inch cylinders. Manufacturer specifications for required hydraulic flow, operating pressure, and coupler type are not provided for this configuration. Hydraulic hoses are optional rather than included as a specified standard component, so the machine’s hydraulic connections and required hose routing should be confirmed before ordering.
Available hydraulic accessories include the HK90 90-inch hose kit with flat-faced couplers, the HK9090 90-inch hose kit with 90-degree flat-faced couplers, and the SHMK spring hose-mount kit.
