HLA Attachments MFE96GR84BO500 Hydraulic Manure Fork with Regular Utility Grapple combines a 96-inch MFE manure fork, 13 cranked Kverneland tines, and an 84-inch GR84 hydraulic grapple in one material-handling attachment. Designed for loaders equipped with a BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick attach and auxiliary hydraulics, it provides the tine penetration needed for handling manure and other livestock materials while the wide-opening grapple helps control bulky or irregular loads. The grapple opens to 70 inches and can accommodate 4-foot round bales, making this attachment a versatile choice for livestock operations, farmyards, and general material handling.
The 96-inch fork uses 13 Conus I cranked Kverneland tines positioned on 7-7/8-inch centers. Each tine measures 35 inches overall and provides 31 inches of usable length. The superior-penetration tine design is intended to enter manure and similar materials effectively, helping the operator build and carry a load.
A flat top on the attachment acts as a level indicator. This gives the operator a convenient visual reference when positioning the fork during loading, carrying, and unloading.
The included GR84 Regular Utility Grapple is 84 inches wide and is sized for a 96-inch fork or bucket. It opens up to 70 inches, providing room to secure substantial or bulky material. Its capacity to accommodate 4-foot round bales also expands the attachment’s usefulness beyond manure handling.
Two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders operate the grapple and are supplied with the attachment. The dual-cylinder configuration provides hydraulic grapple action across the attachment for retaining and controlling material during transport.
The MFE96GR84BO500 uses the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. The GR84 Regular Utility Grapple is compatible with HLA MFE manure forks and is sized to fit a 96-inch fork or bucket. Before ordering, confirm that the loader has the corresponding universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface and sufficient capacity for the attachment and intended load.
Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the grapple. Hydraulic flow and pressure requirements are not specified. Hydraulic hose and coupler packages are optional rather than included as standard hose-kit equipment. Available options include the HK90 90-inch hose kit with flat-faced couplers, the HK9090 hose kit with 90-degree flat-faced couplers, and the SHMK spring hose mount kit.
