HLA Attachments - Double-Prong Bale Spear - 49" Tine (44" Usable Length) - 4,000 lb Capacity - Hay and Bale Handling [LA-DE5049BO500]

HLA Attachments DE5049BO500 Double-Prong Bale Spear is a loader-mounted hay and bale handling attachment designed for moving individual round bales and large square bales. Its two 49-inch Kverneland bale tines provide 44 inches of usable length and are spaced 30 inches apart for stable bale engagement. With a rated capacity of 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center, a 50-inch-wide frame, and an HLA BO500 skid-steer-style universal quick-attach mount, this bale spear combines substantial handling capacity with straightforward loader attachment.

Reliable Two-Tine Bale Handling

The DE5049 uses two primary Kverneland bale tines to engage and support a bale. The tines are positioned 30 inches apart, creating a broad support pattern suitable for both round bales and large square bales. Each tine measures 49 inches overall and offers 44 inches of usable length.

The attachment is rated to handle up to 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. Its 50-inch frame provides a compact yet stable platform for routine bale handling, including loading, unloading, repositioning, and transporting individual bales around the farm or storage area.

BO500 Quick-Attach Mount

This configuration combines the DE5049 base attachment with HLA’s BO500 mounting option. The BO500 code represents a skid-steer-style universal quick-attach interface, allowing the bale spear to connect to compatible loader carriers without a machine-specific pin-on mount.

The complete attachment weighs approximately 185 lb. Loader capacity, carrier type, and machine configuration should always be considered when determining whether the attachment and intended bale are suitable for a particular loader.

Specifications

Important Operating Limitation
