HLA Attachments DE5532BO500 Double-Prong Bale Spear with Guard is a loader-mounted hay and bale handling attachment built for moving round bales and large square bales. Its two 32-inch Kverneland bale tines provide 27 inches of usable length and are spaced 30 inches apart for stable bale engagement. A bolt-on bale guard adds protection and support, particularly when handling large square bales stacked two high. Rated for 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center, this bale spear combines substantial capacity with a universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier interface for convenient connection to compatible loaders.
The DE5532BO500 is equipped with two main bale tines, allowing it to support and control large bales during loading, unloading, stacking, and general movement around the farm or storage area. The 30-inch spacing between the tines helps distribute the load across the attachment while reducing unwanted bale rotation during handling.
Each Kverneland tine measures 32 inches long, with 27 inches of usable tine length available for bale penetration. The attachment is suitable for both round bales and large square bales, making it a versatile choice for day-to-day hay handling.
A bolt-on guard extends above the main spear frame to provide added protection when handling tall or stacked loads. This is especially useful when moving large square bales stacked two high. The bolt-on construction integrates the guard with the bale spear while retaining a practical attachment design.
The frame measures 50 inches wide and has an overall height of 50 inches. This combination provides a substantial working structure for controlling bulky bales without adding unnecessary complexity to the attachment.
The DE5532 bale spear is rated for a capacity of 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. This rating makes it suitable for demanding hay and bale handling tasks when used with an appropriately rated loader and carrier. The attachment weighs approximately 305 lb, which should be considered together with the bale weight when determining the loader’s available operating capacity.
A built-in safety foot provides rollover protection while the bale spear is stored. This feature helps support safer, more stable positioning when the attachment is disconnected and not in use.
The BO500 mounting configuration uses a universal skid-steer weld-on/quick-attach carrier interface. Before ordering or operating the attachment, confirm that the loader has a compatible universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier and sufficient rated capacity for the attachment, bale weight, and working load center.
This attachment is intended for handling round bales, large square bales, and large square bales stacked two high. Loader capacity and operating limits must be appropriate for the specific bale and handling conditions.
