6. The grappling fork attachment system of claim 1, wherein said grappling structure is positioned completely behind said bucket unit in a resting position and positioned at least partially above said bucket unit in an in use position.
7. The grappling fork attachment system of claim 1, wherein said first drive assembly includes at least one chain and sprocket assembly.
8. The grappling fork attachment system of claim 1, wherein said second drive assembly includes at least one chain and sprocket assembly.
9. The grappling fork attachment system of claim 1, including a plurality of projections extending from said grappling structure.
10. A grappling fork attachment system, comprising:
a tractor including a bucket unit and a pair of loader arms, wherein said pair of loader arms move said bucket unit;
a support frame attached to said tractor;
wherein said support frame is pivotally attached to said tractor between said pair of loader arms and said bucket unit;
at least one locking element pivotally connected to said support frame to alternately secure said support frame to one of said bucket unit and said pair of loader arms;
wherein said bucket unit moves independent of said support frame when said locking element is secured to said pair of loader arms;
an extension frame pivotally attached to said support frame;
wherein said locking element includes a catch element, wherein a pivotal movement of said extension frame causes said extension frame to engage said catch portion of said locking element;
a first drive assembly mounted proximate said extension frame for pivoting said extension frame about said support frame;
wherein said first drive assembly includes an outer chain and sprocket assembly and an inner chain and sprocket assembly;
wherein an outer sprocket of said outer chain and sprocket assembly is immovable;
wherein said first drive assembly includes at least one actuator;
a grappling structure pivotally attached to said extension frame for grabbing and securing a load within said bucket unit;
wherein said support frame and said grappling structure are pivotally mounted on opposite ends of said extension frame;
wherein said grappling structure is positioned completely behind said bucket unit in a resting position and positioned at least partially above said bucket unit in an in use position; and
a second drive assembly mounted proximate said extension frame for pivoting said grappling structure about said extension frame;
wherein said second drive assembly includes an outer chain and sprocket assembly and an inner chain and sprocket assembly;
wherein said second drive assembly includes at least one actuator.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.

7. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by at least one processor to perform:
in response to receiving an update to an entity in a file plan,
determining, by the at least one processor, a date associated with a disposition of the entity; and
adding, by the at least one processor, a reference to the entity to a bucket associated with the date.
8. The computer program product of claim 7, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by the at least one processor to perform:
identifying entities associated with a date range by examining buckets having associated dates falling within the date range; and
for each of the identified entities,
determining a new date associated with a disposition of the entity; and
moving the reference to the entity to a new bucket associated with the new date.
9. The computer program product of claim 7, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by the at least one processor to perform:
generating a report for the bucket.
10. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein at least one of the references in the bucket is to another entity awaiting a different type of disposition state from other entities having references in the bucket.
11. The computer program product of claim 7, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by the at least one processor to perform:
adding references to another bucket that refer to a set of entities that are to be processed by a workflow task.
12. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein a Software as a Service (SaaS) is configured to perform the computer program product operations.
13. A computer system, comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices; and
program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to perform:
in response to receiving an update to an entity in a file plan,
determining, using a processor of a computer, a date associated with a disposition of the entity; and
adding a reference to the entity to a bucket associated with the date.
