Its five 49-inch Kverneland tines deliver 44 inches of usable length and are spaced 17 inches apart for secure bale engagement. With an 8,000 lb rated capacity at a 24-inch load center, a substantial 72-inch-wide rigid frame, and a BO500 quick-attach mounting configuration, this bale spear is built for demanding hay and bale-handling work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeavy-Duty Bale Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe QE57249 combines five main tines with a rigid frame to provide a stable platform for moving and positioning stacked large square bales. The 49-inch tines offer 44 inches of usable working length, allowing them to penetrate deeply into bale material. Their consistent 17-inch spacing distributes contact across the bale stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe attachment is rated to carry up to 8,000 lb at a 24-inch load center.
