Manure fork, flat tine versus cranked Kverneland tine

495man · Dec 20, 2015

What type is better and why? Currently use bolt in flat tines in a pin on material bucket, new loader is a Euro/Global carrier and I need a new manure bucket/fork.

Will be used in pole barn manure pack.

Examples:

Cranked Kverneland Tine:

Flat Tine:

No concrete pricing yet, HLA very common here and sold by almost every color dealer.

What's the floor in the pole barn? If it is
just a dirt floor, I'd go with the straight
tines, if you have concrete maybe the
cranked tines will do a better/cleaner job.
Neighbour has hla fork with cranked tines,
he likes it but he does break the odd time
at the crank, seems like a bit of a weak
spot for the cranked tines...
