HLA Attachments QE57239BO500 Five-Prong Bale Spear is a heavy-duty, loader-mounted attachment designed for handling stacked large square bales. Its rigid frame carries five Kverneland tines, each with a nominal length of 39 inches and 34 inches of usable length, providing multiple points of engagement across the bale load. Rated for up to 8,000 lb at a 24-inch load center, this bale spear combines substantial load capacity with a wide, tall frame suited to demanding hay and bale-handling applications. The BO500 mounting configuration fits a skid-steer quick-attach carrier for straightforward connection to compatible equipment.
The QE57239BO500 uses a five-prong configuration to support and engage large square bales across the width of the attachment. The Kverneland main tines are spaced 17 inches apart, creating an evenly distributed arrangement for handling stacked bale loads. Each tine measures 39 inches nominally, with 34 inches of usable tine length.
The rigid frame measures 72 inches wide and 74 inches high. This substantial structure is intended for large square bale handling and provides a defined back frame behind the load. The attachment is rated for 8,000 lb at a 24-inch load center, making it suitable for high-capacity work when used with compatible equipment that can safely support the attachment and load.
A safety foot provides rollover protection while the bale spear is stored. This feature helps support the attachment when it is detached from the carrier, making storage more stable and helping keep the frame positioned for future connection.
Two bushings in the upper frame are designed to accept optional 14-inch stabilizer tines. The compatible optional stabilizer tine is part number SDE14QE, with two required. These stabilizer tines are not listed as standard equipment and may be added when the application calls for additional upper-frame engagement.
The HLA Attachments QE57239BO500 is configured with a BO500 skid-steer quick-attach mount. It is compatible with a skid-steer quick-attach carrier. Before use, confirm that the carrier and operating machine are equipped with the correct interface and have sufficient rated capacity for the approximately 545 lb attachment, the bale load, and the stated load center.
