</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Even if I sawed off the top few inches of pipe, I'd still have trouble getting in there. Thinking more about it, the MF + bucket is large enough to cause extensive damage with one wrong move. I tried a scraper blade, but that did nothing; the box scraper with spikes would penetrate ok, but I wonder if would actually rip the mat or flip the tractor -- that's mighty strong stuff!

You have few good options for a 1' plus pack of manure with straw. Some version of a pitch fork, manually or tractor or skid steer operated, is the only thing that will work well. Any kind of blade will just ride over the strawpack. The boxblade with teeth down might do something, but likely will be a struggle.
Modify the muffler & go at it slowly & carefully. It is typical for manure work to require exact & very tight manuvering. If you do not have teeth on your bucket, it still may be quite a challenge.
