When it comes to moving hay, the right bale spear can make or break your workflow. With winter feeding and storage just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to make sure your equipment is up to the task.
At Tri-L Manufacturing, we’ve been building durable, American-made bale spears and hay-handling attachments for decades, trusted by farmers and ranchers across the U.S. Here’s what you need to know to get the most from your setup this season.
Understanding Bale Spear Options
Different jobs require different spear configurations. Choosing the right one depends on your bale size, tractor type, and daily use.
- Single Spear: Ideal for smaller tractors and compact bales. Offers quick maneuvering and easy handling.
- Double Spear: Provides balance and stability for round bales. Great for everyday use.
- Triple Spear: Designed for heavy loads and high-volume operations. Perfect for commercial farms or large-scale hay storage.
Each Tri-L spear is forged for strength and tested to handle heavy agricultural use, season after season.
Mounting Styles and Compatibility
Tri-L offers multiple mounting options to fit nearly every brand of tractor and skid steer. This includes Global (Worldwide or Euro-8), John Deere, skid steer and other quick-attach systems. That means you can attach, lift, and move without downtime or modification.
Safety and Performance Tips
- Never exceed your loader’s rated lift capacity
- Always center the spear before lifting a bale to maintain stability.
- Check spear tines for wear or bending before each use and make sure the nut is tight.
A few simple checks go a long way toward keeping your operation safe and efficient.
Built for the Way You Work
