I am looking at a manure fork for my Bobcat and would like to know what style is preferred. One dealer recomended the Kverneland style curved or "cranked" tine over the flat ones that come straight out of the frame. I wonder how durable they would be and if they are really better in some situations. Thanks

I have a Notch Mfg manure fork and am very pleased with it. Made in MN. Very heavy duty.

I bought a 72" Virnig.  I used it quit a bit moving frozen manure from my corrals earlier and it is indistructable.  Much heavier then other manure forks.  I've also got a double quick tach grab fork from Sheyenne MFG.

kvernland are tough, I have a rock bucket made with them. For a manure bucket I dont think you need the goose neck tines, straight ones should be fine

I've got a Cat brand manure fork with a grapple on it, bought it used for about the same as a new manure fork and really like it. You can pick up so much more, carry manure pack without spilling it everywhere and I use it to move down trees and clean up junk as well ( although I have bent a tine or two $25 each) Just my .02 cents

You say you want a " manure fork ", but think about what else you might want/be able to do with it. I have the tine grapple from Notch. Bought it for packed bedding like stalk bales. Also planned on using it for small trees and brush. Really works good for both of those. Really depends on what you want to do with it.

I will second the Notch manufacturing tine fork with grapple. We bought one and love it. Solid built and reasonable price.
