Debris Fork?

Yes, that looks like the "business" end of the cattle and cow business.

It's usually not that bad, this is spring cleanup around the entrance to the barn. Next year I need to move the hay feeder around more. So this is a few months of matted hay, manure, piss and rain. So this stuff is heavy and wet. When I finish this up I'll see how it does at picking up matted hay/straw that isn't as mucky.

sounds about right of what i remember of dealing with manure. you not going to keep on plowing through the manure to get a full bucket. but slide the tines in a bit, then backup and retry again and attempt to flipping chunks into bucket per say. in order to get a full bucket. hopefully ya not pushing the chunks around to much now that ya got some forks. and/or you bucket is no longer sliding across everything vs digging in.

looking at pictures.... 3pt hitch PHD (post hole digger). no were enough weight for counter balance for FEL.

and the side walls of rear tires looks to tight. i am guessing high pressure in rear tires with no fluid in the rear tires. drop the pressure in rear tires to say 12 to 15 PSI keep them on the rim. but reduce the pressure so the rear tires squash a little bit to gain traction. filling rear tires up with a fluid to gain weight but also help with some traction.

you might want to invest in some chains for rear tires.

Problem is sometimes the tines won't slide in, a lot of times they just shove the whole pile. I've been working on getting the right tine angle to get it to stab in better. That's why I was thinking the pointy manure tines would probably be way easier. I have been doing multiple stabs and tipping the bucket back to load the bucket and get as much as possible on each trip.

I haven't purposely tried any counter weight. I just put stuff on the back as a I need it, right now I need to dig holes. I'll check the tire pressure.

I definitely need some chains. It's amazing how easily this tractor slips in the snow.
