HLA Attachments TE5532-BO500 Three-Prong Bale Spear with Guard is a loader-mounted attachment designed for handling large 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft square bales. It combines three 32-inch Kverneland tines, a bolt-on guard, and a rated capacity of 5,000 lb at a 24-inch load center. Each tine provides 27 inches of usable length, while the 23-inch tine spacing supports stable bale engagement. The BO500 configuration features a universal skid-steer quick-attach interface for use with compatible loaders and skid steers.
The TE5532 is purpose-built for moving large square bales around farms, livestock operations, storage areas, and feeding sites. Its three-prong arrangement distributes engagement across the bale, while the 50-inch-wide frame provides a substantial platform for demanding bale-handling work.
The attachment is equipped with three Kverneland tines spaced 23 inches apart. Each tine has a nominal length of 32 inches and a usable length of 27 inches. This configuration is designed specifically for large 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft square bales and delivers a rated capacity of 5,000 lb when measured at a 24-inch load center.
A bolt-on guard increases the attachment’s overall height to 50 inches and provides added protection when handling large square bales stacked two high. The guarded configuration is intended for handling up to two large square bales stacked vertically, helping support demanding loading, unloading, and stacking applications.
Because the guard is bolted to the attachment, it forms an integrated part of the bale-handling setup while retaining a defined, serviceable mounting configuration. A safety foot also provides rollover protection while the attachment is stored.
This model is supplied in the BO500 mounting configuration, identified by HLA Attachments as a universal skid-steer quick-attach interface. It is compatible with loader and skid-steer models listed by HLA as accepting the BO500 quick-attach mounting code. Confirm that the carrier uses the correct BO500-compatible interface before installation.
