Description
HLA Attachments FE55049BO500 Four-Prong Bale Spear with Adjustable Guard is a loader-mounted hay-handling attachment designed specifically for moving large 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft square bales, including two-high handling. Four 49-inch Kverneland tines provide 44 inches of usable length, while a rated capacity of 6,000 lb at a 24-inch load center supports demanding bale-moving applications. The adjustable guard extends from a 50-inch retracted height to an 84-inch extended height, helping operators configure the attachment for the load being handled. A BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach interface provides straightforward connection to compatible loaders.
Purpose-Built for Large Square Bales
The FE55049 is engineered around a four-prong layout for handling large square bales. Its four main tines are positioned at 18-3/4-inch spacing across a 66-inch-wide frame. This configuration is intended for 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft square bales and supports handling bales two high.
Each Kverneland tine measures 49 inches overall, with 44 inches of usable tine length. Together, the four tines provide multiple points of bale engagement for loader-mounted hay and bale handling. The attachment carries a 6,000 lb rated capacity measured at a 24-inch load center.
Adjustable Guard
An adjustable upper guard allows the attachment height to be changed according to the task. The guard measures 50 inches high in its retracted position and extends to 84 inches. This adjustable design is particularly useful for the attachment’s intended two-high bale-handling application.
A safety foot provides rollover protection while the bale spear is being stored. This practical feature helps support safer attachment storage when the implement is disconnected from the loader.
