HLA Attachments DE5549BO500 Double-Prong Bale Spear with Guard is a loader-mounted hay and bale handling attachment designed for moving round bales and large square bales. Two 49-inch Kverneland bale tines provide 44 inches of usable length and are spaced 30 inches apart for stable bale engagement. Rated for 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center, this model combines substantial handling capacity with a bolt-on guard that provides added protection when stacking or transporting large square bales two high. The BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach mount allows use with compatible quick-attach carriers.
The DE5549 uses a double-prong design to support secure and controlled bale handling. Its two Kverneland tines are positioned 30 inches apart, making the attachment suitable for both round bales and large square bales. Each tine measures 49 inches overall, with 44 inches of usable length for penetrating and carrying bales.
A 50-inch-wide frame provides a compact working profile while supporting the twin-tine arrangement. The attachment also measures 50 inches in overall height with the guard installed.
The included bolt-on guard is intended to provide added protection when handling large square bales two high. Its elevated structure helps create a protective barrier above the main spear frame during bale handling and stacking applications.
Because the guard uses a bolt-on configuration, it forms a dedicated part of this guarded bale spear setup. A safety foot also provides rollover protection when the attachment is placed in its storage position.
The bale spear is rated for a capacity of 4,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. This rating, combined with the two long Kverneland tines, makes the DE5549BO500 a practical attachment for demanding hay handling tasks involving large bales.
This DE5549 bale spear is configured with the HLA Attachments BO500 mounting system. It is compatible with universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carriers. Confirm that the carrier uses the appropriate universal skid-steer quick-attach interface before installation.
