Wheel Loader Two Spear Attachment – Heavy-Duty Hay and Bale Handling

If you're running a wheel loader on your farm, ranch, or livestock operation, you already know how much time you spend moving hay. Round bales, square bales, daily feeding routines — it all adds up fast. The Wheel Loader Bale Spear – Series 2 from Stinger Attachments is built to make that work faster, safer, and a whole lot easier. This is a straightforward, heavy-duty bale handling tool designed for operators who need a reliable way to move hay without the hassle of chains, forks, or makeshift setups that waste time and create safety risks.

Manufactured by Stinger Attachments in southern Minnesota, the Series 2 bale spear brings serious durability and smart design to your daily operation. It's not overbuilt with unnecessary features, and it's not stripped down to save a few bucks. It's engineered to do one job really well: move medium to large round bales and square bales quickly and securely. Whether you're loading hay for transport, stacking bales in the barn, or feeding livestock in the field, this attachment gives you the control and capacity to handle the workload without burning daylight.

The spear uses a two-tine design with 39 inches of spacing between the tines, which is wide enough to handle broader bales without them slipping or tipping. You can choose from three different tine lengths — 39 inches, 43 inches, or 49 inches — depending on the size and weight of the bales you typically move. The usable length on each size gives you plenty of penetration depth to keep bales stable during transport, even across uneven ground or when you're moving at speed.

One of the biggest advantages here is the rated capacity: 3,500 pounds at 30 inches. That's more than enough lifting power for standard round bales and even heavier, denser hay types. You're not going to max out this spear on typical farm work, which means you've got headroom for those occasional oversized loads or wet bales that weigh more than expected. The spear connects directly to your wheel loader using a built-in hookup system that makes mounting and dismounting quick and clean. No custom fabrication, no adapter plates, no guesswork. Just hook it up and go.

Forge Claw is proud to distribute the Stinger Attachments Series 2 bale spear nationwide, and we back every unit with free shipping to your door. We've worked with farmers, ranchers, and landowners across the country who depend on equipment that shows up ready to work and holds up season after season. This spear checks both boxes. It's built with heavy-duty materials — including a 4x4x1/4-inch bottom tube, 4x2x1/4-inch top support tube, and 3/8-inch Grade 50 side plates — so it's not going to bend, crack, or fail when you're pushing it hard.

The replaceable tines are another smart touch. Instead of welding the spears permanently to the frame, Stinger uses a double-nut retention system that lets you swap out worn or damaged tines without replacing the entire attachment. That's a money-saver over the long haul, especially if you're running this spear daily or working in conditions where tines take a beating. Replacement is straightforward enough that most operators can handle it themselves with basic hand tools.

There's also a safety step built into the frame, which might seem like a small detail until you're out in the field and need to adjust a bale or clean debris off the tines. That step gives you stable footing and keeps you from climbing on tires or reaching from awkward angles. It's the kind of feature that shows this attachment was designed by people who actually use this kind of equipment, not just engineers working off a CAD file.

The 70-degree back angle on the spear frame keeps bales positioned properly during lifting and transport. You won't deal with bales rolling backward or sliding off because the geometry is designed to keep the load secure once it's on the tines. That back angle also helps when you're setting bales down — you get better control over placement, which matters when you're stacking or feeding in tight spaces.

This bale spear is a cost-effective solution for operators who already own a wheel loader and want to add serious bale handling capability without investing in a dedicated bale handler or second machine. It's a single-purpose tool that does its job extremely well, and it's priced to make sense for operations of all sizes. Whether you're running a small hobby farm or managing a large commercial ranch, the Series 2 delivers the performance you need without the complexity or price tag of more elaborate systems.

Stinger Attachments builds this spear in the USA using domestically sourced steel and components wherever possible. That means better quality control, faster parts availability, and support from a manufacturer that understands the demands of American agriculture. When you order from Forge Claw, you're getting a product that's been tested in real-world conditions by operators who depend on their equipment every single day. We stand behind every attachment we sell, and we're here to answer questions, provide support, and make sure you get the right tool for your operation.

If you've been moving bales with a bucket, pallet forks, or some rigged-up solution, you already know how much time and effort that wastes. The Wheel Loader Bale Spear – Series 2 eliminates that struggle. It's faster, safer, and far more efficient than trying to balance bales on equipment that wasn't designed for the job. You'll save time on every load, reduce the risk of dropped or damaged bales, and get through your daily feeding or stacking routine with a lot less frustration.

The biggest benefit of the Series 2 bale spear is the time it saves. If you're feeding livestock daily or moving hay around your property, you know how much of your day gets eaten up by loading, stacking, and transporting bales. This attachment cuts that time down significantly. You're not wrestling with chains, balancing bales on forks, or making multiple trips because your setup isn't secure. You stab the bale, lift it, move it, and drop it exactly where it needs to go. That efficiency adds up fast, especially during peak feeding seasons or when you're trying to get hay off the field before weather moves in.

Durability is another major advantage. The heavy-duty steel construction and Grade 50 side plates mean this spear can take a beating without bending, cracking, or showing wear. Farming is hard on equipment, and hay handling in particular puts constant stress on attachments. The Series 2 is built to handle that stress year after year without needing constant repairs or replacements. The replaceable tines extend the life of the attachment even further, so you're not looking at a full replacement cost when tines eventually wear down.

From a safety standpoint, this spear is a big step up from makeshift solutions. Bales are heavy, awkward, and dangerous when they're not properly secured. The wide tine spacing and 70-degree back angle keep bales stable during transport, which reduces the risk of dropped loads, rollovers, or injuries. The built-in safety step also makes it easier to work around the attachment without putting yourself in a risky position. These features might seem small, but they make a real difference when you're working alone or in challenging conditions.

The Series 2 also delivers excellent return on investment. Compared to the cost of a dedicated bale handler or second machine, this spear is a fraction of the price and gives you most of the same capability. If you already own a wheel loader, adding this attachment is the most cost-effective way to expand your bale handling capacity. You'll recover the investment quickly through time savings, reduced labor costs, and fewer damaged or wasted bales.

Productivity improvements show up in every aspect of your operation. You can stack bales higher and more neatly because you've got precise control over placement. You can feed livestock faster because you're not fumbling with equipment that wasn't designed for the job. You can move hay in and out of storage more efficiently, which matters when you're dealing with large inventories or tight timelines. The spear lets you work faster without sacrificing safety or quality, and that's the kind of productivity gain that pays off every single day.

Finally, the nationwide support from Forge Claw and the two-year manufacturer's warranty give you peace of mind that you're covered if anything goes wrong. You're not buying from a fly-by-night supplier or dealing with equipment that's unsupported after the sale. You're working with a distributor that stands behind every product and a manufacturer that's been building quality attachments for years. That kind of backing matters when your livelihood depends on your equipment showing up and performing as promised.

The Wheel Loader Bale Spear – Series 2 is ideal for farmers, ranchers, livestock operators, and landowners who regularly handle round or square bales. It's particularly well-suited for operations that already own a wheel loader and want to maximize the versatility of that machine without investing in additional equipment. Whether you're feeding cattle, stacking hay in a barn, loading bales onto trailers, or moving hay around your property, this spear gives you the capacity and control to get the job done efficiently.

This attachment is compatible with most standard wheel loaders that use a hookup mounting system. Before ordering, verify that your loader is compatible with the built-in hookup design. If you're unsure about compatibility or need help selecting the right tine length for your operation, Forge Claw's team is available to answer questions and provide guidance. Lead times may vary depending on demand and manufacturing schedules, so it's worth reaching out early if you need the spear by a specific date.

Operating the Series 2 is straightforward, but there are a few best practices that'll help you get the most out of the attachment. Always center the tines on the bale before lifting to keep the load balanced. Avoid lifting bales that exceed the rated capacity, especially at extended reach. Keep the tines clean and free of debris to ensure smooth penetration and secure handling. If you're working in wet or muddy conditions, take extra care when setting bales down to avoid getting the tines stuck in soft ground.

Maintenance is minimal but important. Inspect the tines regularly for signs of wear, bending, or damage, and replace them as needed using the double-nut retention system. Check the mounting hardware periodically to ensure everything is tight and secure. Keep the frame clean and free of rust, especially if you're storing the attachment outdoors. A quick visual inspection before each use will help you catch small issues before they turn into bigger problems.
