3 point hitch manure fork

[Greasy6020]

Anyone ever made a 3 point hitch manure fork?

I wouldn’t mind one... in the middle of a thitty job at work... mind tends to wander.

For reference I believe that gate to be somewhere around 5 feet wide

How about a 3 point hitch mounted bucket? It’d be the same thing, just with tines and not a solid bottom

I seen one on YT on a Cub Cadet. This guy used a hydraulic cylinder for his top link for dumping. I was thinking of trying something in the Johnny bucket style but mounted on 3pt instead of the front.

Sounds pretty close to what I’m after.

Would one need the hydraulic top link, or would sliding fork on ground be enough to clean it off?

With poo, sliding on ground won't get it off.

Used a hand fork to do a couple of those my lifetime . Layer by Layer. Being young and having a really really good back helps..

Stall poop was exactly why I built my front end loader. With my arthritis getting worse back then, it gave me tunnel vision to get it done. One 4'x8' baby calf stall would whip ya fast with that pitchfork. The straw bedding made it bind like crazy, and real hard to fork out. That's another job I don't miss!

Ok, good to know... guess I gotta buy back my old JD 300 if I can

Really doubt something like that on smaller GT would work on boxstall manure..maybe adding forks to it would help.

I've never had go do that and boy am I glad...


But what about a Johnny bucket or something like that?

You should be glad Aaron! We had 16 individual calf stalls, and they had to be cleaned every month with pitchfork till I built my loader in my late 40's. There were 3 stalls that were blocked by barn support posts, so still had to hand clean them.

Correct! I should have added that I was thinking a design like shown, but manure forks instead of a solid bottom. Even then it would have to be sized to the tractor's capabilities.

That could work, thing is I don’t have

That’s what I’m thinking too...

If I do go ahead with the build, it’s gonna be made for my Massey 14... it’s by no means small

all that manure , it needs to be dried out then fed through a petrol type mulcher ready for garden fertilizer would be good plant food but i don't envy the pitching the poop

It sure would.
But thinking back in the day if I was the one do'in the fork'in I'd tell you what I thought about that...

 

[4getgto]

Just thinking I made this

to but on my bucket to clean out some goat pens once. Worked pretty good. Not near as compacted as calf pens. Made from teeth from a cutter bar..
