We need to talk manure tines
A tine attachment for your skid steer can move a ton of manure. Given the nature of manure, people using skid steer attachments will be asked to remove it as quickly as possible. So, what all is there to say about manure tines or forks?
Well, these tines/forks are meant to pick up a lot more than manure. They work on loose materials and matted organic matter that requires a careful technique to lift and take away. If you work construction that might not sound that beneficial, but it can change lives in agriculture. After all, it’s fine to get your hands dirty…but not that kind of dirty.
As with most of our products, the applications are only limited by your workload. Agriculture industry types might get the most out of a product that stores manure and helps create silage. But these attachments are also tools for land work jobs that require a fine touch.
It’s something to consider, while realizing the sheer volume of skid steer attachments on the market. If you’re engaged in farm work or anything that requires a specific touch, then break out the manure bucket tine attachment and get to work. We promise that it will make your life easier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are manure tines used for?
Manure tines, also called manure forks, scoop, lift, and move manure, bedding, hay, and silage. They are a staple on livestock and agriculture operations where loose organic material has to be cleaned out and moved quickly.
How are manure tines different from a bucket?
Manure tines are spaced fingers rather than a solid pan. That lets liquid and fine material fall through while the tines hold bulky, matted organic matter, so they handle manure and hay better than a standard bucket.
What else can manure tines handle besides manure?
They also work well on loose materials and matted organic matter such as silage, hay, brush, and general debris, which makes them useful for cleanup and material handling beyond livestock work.
Will manure tines fit my machine?
Stinger manure tines use a universal quick-attach plate and fit standard skid steers, with options for tractors and loaders. Match the size to your machine’s capacity for the best results.
How do I get the most out of manure tines?
Use good technique on matted material by working the tines underneath and lifting, keep the tines clean, and inspect them for wear so they keep loading efficiently.
