I have two JD 45 trip loaders and one Freeman trip loader. I use the 45's a lot - feed round bales with one and the other has soil plates on the bucket. My bale spear fits in the manure tine bucket with two bolts and one pin. I can install or remove it in about a minute. The manure tines are perfect for brush cleanup while cutting firewood.
For loading manure, a trip loader can work faster than a hydraulic bucket - it will instantly reset itself if you have it balanced right. You might have to drop the boom a little at just the right instant, but you'll quickly figure it out. It won't reset itself with the soil plates or the bale spear because the balance is off.
Deere 45 trip loaders sell for $200 - $300 in good shape. I gave $5 and trade for the Freeman loader in good shape, but I had to make brackets to fit my tractors.
People make fun of the old trip loaders, but every time someone in the neighborhood has trusses to set, they call me to bring over my old loader with a jib pole on it. I've set 40' trusses with it.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
