Bale Spike




When you get round bales delivered on the farm, you have to have a way to get them off the truck. For this you need a front end bale spike to lift the high one ton bale and move it. You can't do that with a 3 point spike in the back of the tractor. Our tractor is only equipped with the rear spike. So we went and bought a quick connect front end spike. This fits on our neighbors tractor.
We tested it on some bales we already had before the bale delivery. It worked and we were all set to get bales moved fro high places. Eventually, we are going to turn our tractor into a quick connect on the front. But for now we just swap tractors with our neighbors as needed.
