HLA Attachments TE5032 Three-Prong Bale Spear with BO500 Quick-Attach Mount is a loader-mounted hay-handling attachment designed for moving large 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft square bales. Its three 32-inch Kverneland tines provide 27 inches of usable length, while the 50-inch-wide frame and 23-inch tine spacing support stable bale engagement. Rated for up to 5,000 lb at a 24-inch load center, this bale spear is built for demanding farm, ranch, feedlot, and material-handling applications where secure handling of large square bales is essential.
The TE5032 uses a three-prong configuration to engage and support large square bales. Its Kverneland tines are spaced 23 inches apart and offer a nominal length of 32 inches, with 27 inches of usable tine length. This arrangement is intended to provide secure penetration and controlled handling when loading, unloading, positioning, or transporting compatible bales.
A 50-inch frame gives the attachment a practical working width for large square-bale applications. The base TE50-series product weighs approximately 210 lb, helping provide a substantial bale-handling structure without adding unnecessary complexity.
The spear has a rated capacity of 5,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. Actual handling capability also depends on the loader, carrier, mounting system, operating conditions, and bale position. The rated capacity of the attachment does not increase the lifting capacity or stability limits of the carrier.
HLA specifies this model for handling large 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft square bales. It is not approved for carrying two bales stacked vertically. Operators must follow this restriction and use the attachment only within the limits of both the bale spear and the loader.
This configuration combines the HLA TE5032 base bale spear with the BO500 quick-attach mounting option. HLA uses the BO500 mounting code for numerous skid-steer-style or universal skid-steer-carrier loader applications.
BO500 does not identify one specific loader brand or model. Before ordering or installing the attachment, confirm the loader model and carrier interface against HLA’s loader-specific mounting-code information. Compatibility should not be assumed solely because a loader uses a skid-steer-style carrier.
Use the bale spear for its specified large square-bale application and keep the load properly engaged on all three tines. Do not exceed the attachment’s 5,000 lb rating at a 24-inch load center, and always remain within the loader manufacturer’s lift-capacity and stability limits.
This attachment must not be used to transport two bales stacked on top of one another. Carry loads in a stable position appropriate for the loader and operating environment.
