HLA Attachments - Square/Round Bale Grapple - Hay and Bale Handling [LA-BG6000BO500]

HLA Attachments BG6000BO500 Square/Round Bale Grapple is a hydraulic, loader-mounted attachment designed for handling both large square and round bales. Combining the BG6000 grapple with HLA’s BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface, it provides a versatile solution for moving, loading and stacking hay. The grapple is rated for loads up to 2,000 lb (907 kg), opens to 84 in (2,134 mm) and accommodates square bales from 4–6 ft long or round bales from 5–6 ft in diameter.

Versatile Bale Handling

Built to work with two common bale formats, the BG6000BO500 allows operators to handle large square and round bales without changing between separate grapple models. Its 84 in maximum opening provides the reach needed to secure the specified bale sizes, while the 2,000 lb rated capacity supports demanding hay-handling jobs around farms, storage yards and livestock operations.

The BO500 mounting configuration is intended for loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier. This common interface makes attachment and removal straightforward when moving between compatible loader implements.

Arm-Locking System for Stacking

One grapple arm can be locked in a fixed position with pins, allowing all movement to occur in the opposite arm. This arrangement is especially useful when stacking bales because it gives the operator the option to control bale engagement from one side while keeping the other side stationary.

The locking feature also allows the grapple configuration to be adapted to the task rather than requiring both arms to move for every bale. Whether collecting bales in the field, positioning them for transport or building an orderly stack, the BG6000 is designed to provide controlled hydraulic bale handling.

Compatibility

The BG6000BO500 is configured for loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier. HLA loader compatibility tables identify BO500 as the quick-attach interface for numerous loader configurations using this carrier style.

Before installation, confirm that the loader has the correct universal skid-steer-style carrier and sufficient operating capacity for the combined weight of the grapple and the intended bale. Loader capacity must be appropriate for the attachment, load and operating conditions.
