HLA Attachments FE7849 Four-Prong Bale Spear with BO500 Universal Skid-Steer Quick Attach is a heavy-duty, loader-mounted bale-handling attachment designed for handling stacked large square bales. Its rigid 72-inch-wide frame carries four 49-inch Kverneland bale tines, providing 44 inches of usable tine length and a rated capacity of 6,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. The BO500 mounting interface fits loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier, making this spear a practical choice for farms, feedlots, hay operations, and other applications where large bales must be moved and stacked efficiently.
The FE7849 uses four bale tines spaced 21-5/8 inches apart across a rigid frame. This layout is well suited to supporting large square bales during lifting, transport, and stacking. Each Kverneland tine measures 49 inches overall, with 44 inches of usable length available for penetrating and carrying the bale.
With a rated capacity of 6,000 lb at a 24-inch load center, the attachment is engineered for demanding hay and bale-handling work. The frame measures 72 inches wide and 80 inches high, providing the tall, rigid structure needed for handling stacked bales. The attachment weighs approximately 580 lb.
The rigid four-prong frame provides a straightforward bale-handling configuration without moving frame components. A built-in safety foot provides rollover protection while the attachment is stored, helping keep the spear in a more controlled position when it is detached from the loader.
Conus 1 bushings are incorporated into the upper frame to accept optional stabilizer tines. For applications where additional bale stabilization is desired, two optional MFE27 stabilizer tines can be installed. Each MFE27 tine is 27 inches long, and two are required.
This configuration includes the HLA Attachments BO500 universal skid-steer quick-attach mount. It is compatible with loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier. Confirm the loader’s mounting interface and operating capacity are suitable for the attachment, bale weight, and intended load center before use.
The upper frame includes Conus 1 bushings for optional stabilizer tines. The specified option is the MFE27 27-inch stabilizer tine, with two tines required. Optional stabilizer tines are not identified as included with the base attachment.
