Looks for debris forks so I can pick up the wet hay and manure the horses drop around the hay feeder. Tried with the bucket, but its just too wet and sticky to really pick up. I figured forks would work better. Anybody know of some for the smaller BX bucket? I'm not opposed to the clamp on ones, but the removal after would just be nasty.

I had some forks built by this company:

Kind of a pain to get them , as the first set were lost or stolen in shipping, but they have become my favorite implement.
They will custom build to suit.
I would think a quick zap with a hose or maybe a pressure washer would work before dismounting.

Source for small debris forks?
Anybody have a source for small & light debris/brush forks? My bucket is only 38 1/2" inside dimension, so all I have found are too wide & heavy. Closest I've come is this one...

Need a debris fork for pine needles
I made a rake to remove pine needles from my road before grading and preparing for snow plowing. I have used a manure fork for years but now need a front loader debris/manure fork to pick up and load them. Any ideas and photos would be greatly appreciated.

I used a set of these for years on my Deere and they were strong. Just sold them and looking for a wider set. Great for moving firewood.Here is another option:

Something to keep in mind when buying these clamp-on forks.....
My neighbor borrowed mine & liked them so much he that bought some for himself, but he bought some no-name ones off e-boy.
They fit, but the T-handle clamp screws were too close to the inside wall of the bucket, and he had to shorten the "T" handles to clear.
That meant he couldn't get them real tight by hand, and they shifted while using them.
Now he uses a short pipe or a hammer to get them tight.
Not a deal breaker, but something to think about.
I replaced the T-handle clamps on mine with short hex head bolts, because the "T"s stuck up about 4 1/2" from the forks, blocking stuff on the forks from sliding back into the bucket.
The bolts only stick up about 3/4", and I already carry an open end wrench that fits another implement with me anyway, so it works well for me.
