Description
HLA Attachments FE10049BO500 Four-Prong Bale Spear is a loader-mounted hay-handling attachment designed specifically for carrying two round bales at once. Its 100-inch-wide frame supports four Kverneland bale tines, providing a practical configuration for moving round bales up to 6 feet in diameter. Each tine is 49 inches long with 44 inches of usable length, while the attachment is rated to handle up to 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. Fitted with the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach mount, this bale spear is suited to compatible loaders used for feeding, stacking, loading, and transporting round bales.
Efficient Two-Bale Handling
The FE10049 is purpose-built to transport two round bales, helping reduce the number of loader trips required during routine hay handling. Four primary tines support the two-bale layout, with the tines spaced 29 inches apart on each side of the frame. This arrangement is designed to engage two round bales across the attachment’s 100-inch frame width.
The bale spear can handle two round bales measuring up to 6 feet in diameter. Its 4,000 lb rated capacity is specified at a 24-inch load center, making the attachment suitable for demanding agricultural bale-moving applications when paired with appropriately rated compatible equipment.
Four 49-Inch Kverneland Tines
Four Kverneland bale tines provide the attachment’s primary bale-carrying points. The tines have an overall length of 49 inches and offer 44 inches of usable length for penetrating and supporting round bales. Their two-per-side arrangement supports the attachment’s dedicated two-bale handling configuration.
