📘 Overview
The Top Dog skid steer manure fork grapple handles manure, hay and straw clean-up with large-diameter round tines that wash down easily after use — a detail that matters more than it sounds when the alternative is scraping dried manure out of square tine corners. Four sizes are offered: 66", 72" and 78" standard models using 1-1/2" replaceable 1144 steel tines, plus a 74" HD model with 2" tines for heavier duty. The grapple arm is 1/2" gusseted with a 2" bore cylinder, and the same tool doubles for light brush clearing.
A manure fork grapple and a skid steer manure bucket solve different problems. The fork’s open tines drain liquid and let fines fall through, which is what you want for stall clean-out and bedding; a manure bucket for skid steer use carries everything including the liquid, which suits wetter material you do not want draining across the yard. As a tine grapple the clamping arm is what separates this from a plain manure fork — without it, bedding and straw slide off the tines on the way to the spreader.
⚙ Key Features of the Top Dog Attachments Manure Grapple
- Large round replaceable tines — 1-1/2" 1144 steel on standard models — round section sheds material and washes clean where square tines trap it.
- Replaceable tines — tines are the wear item and bolt out individually rather than requiring a new fork.
- HD model with 2" tines — the 74" HD steps tine diameter from 1-1/2" to 2" for heavier, more abrasive duty.
- 1/2" gusseted grapple arms — gusseting is what stops a grapple arm bending when it closes on an uneven load.
- 2" bore cylinders — sized for the clamping force manure and hay handling actually needs.
- 45-1/2" grapple opening — wide enough to take a full fork load of bedding or straw in one bite.
- Doubles for light brush — the same tines that handle bedding will clear light brush, so the tool is not single-season.
🔑 Why Choose the Manure Grapple?
- Washes down in minutes — round tine geometry sheds material instead of packing it into corners — the difference between a rinse and a scrape.
- Tines are a parts order, not a new fork — replaceable 1144 steel tines mean the wear item costs a fraction of the attachment.
- Grips loads a plain fork drops — the gusseted grapple arm holds bedding, straw and brush that would slide off open tines.
- Works past the muck season — light brush clearing keeps the attachment earning outside barn clean-out.

🔗 What Is a Skid Steer Manure Fork Used For?
- Barn and stall clean-out
- Handling hay, straw and bedding
- Loading manure into spreaders and trailers
- Silage and feed handling
- Light brush clearing between seasons
The HD74 with 2" tines is the choice where the attachment works daily rather than through a clean-out season.
🚜 Which Machines Fit the Manure Grapple?
Available for two machine classes — the Manure Grapple uses a single universal quick attach plate that serves both:
Skid steers and compact track loaders — fits machines with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) mount, including:
BobcatCaterpillarJohn DeereCaseNew HollandTakeuchiKubotaGehl
Compact tractor front-end loaders — fits tractor loaders fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the matching Top Dog adapter plate (Euro 90133219, Euro 2-piece 90133229, JD flat 9033199, JD offset 90133228).
Hydraulic requirement: The grapple arms are operated by 2" bore cylinders and require an auxiliary hydraulic circuit on the host machine.
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration before ordering.
❓ Manure Grapple Questions, Answered
What is the difference between the standard and HD manure grapple?
The standard Top Dog manure grapples (66", 72", 78") use 1-1/2" replaceable 1144 steel tines and weigh 815 to 869 lbs. The HD74 (9010055) uses 2" tines and weighs 1,075 lbs — roughly 25% heavier — for more abrasive or higher-volume duty. Choose HD if the attachment is working daily rather than seasonally.
Why are the tines round rather than square?
Large round tines shed material and wash down easily after use. Square or angular tines trap manure and bedding in the corners, which then dries on. On a tool used in wet organic material, cleaning time is a real operating cost.
Are the tines replaceable?
Yes. The tines on the standard Top Dog manure grapple models are 1-1/2" 1144 steel and are replaceable individually, so a worn or bent tine is a parts order rather than a new attachment.
Does the manure grapple require auxiliary hydraulics?
Yes. The grapple arms are operated by 2" bore cylinders and require an auxiliary hydraulic circuit on the host machine.
What is the difference between a manure fork and a manure bucket?
A manure fork grapple has open tines that let liquid and fines drain away while retaining bedding and solids. A manure bucket is a solid bucket that carries everything including liquid. The fork suits stall clean-out and bedding handling; the bucket suits wetter material you do not want to drain onto the yard.
How wide does the grapple open?
The Top Dog manure grapple opens to 45-1/2", with an overall height of 33" closed and 54-1/2" open.
Can the manure grapple be used for brush?
Yes. The Top Dog manure grapple handles light brush clearing in addition to manure, hay and straw, which keeps the attachment useful outside barn clean-out season.
Will the manure grapple fit a tractor loader?
Yes, where the tractor front-end loader is fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler and has an auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the corresponding Top Dog adapter plate.
How do I replace a bent or worn tine?
The tines on the standard Top Dog manure grapple models are 1-1/2" 1144 steel and are individually replaceable, so a single damaged tine does not require a new attachment. Order the replacement tine by part number and fit it to the bar.
