📘 Overview
Haugen's telehandler bale spears are custom-fit fork-carriage attachments designed to handle large square and round bales using telehandlers and forklifts — any machine make with the appropriate carriage mount. Three configurations: MTBS-SQ (Square Bale Spears, four 39" Conus 2 tines, 66" wide × 36" tall), MTBS-R (Round Bale Spears, one 49" Conus 2 main tine + two 24" cold-rolled stabilizers, 48" wide × 36" tall), and MTBS-SQH (High Back Square Bale Spears, same as SQ but with 60" tall frame for high-stack bale handling). All use replaceable tines and are custom-built to fit any telehandler carriage. Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

🔑 Benefits
- Telehandler reach allows bale handling at heights and distances impossible for a skid steer — telehandlers can reach 20-40+ feet at full extension, allowing bale stacking in barn lofts, on top of semi flatbeds, and in elevated storage structures that are completely out of reach for skid steer-mounted bale spears. The MTBS series is purpose-built for these elevated bale operations.
- MTBS-SQ and MTBS-SQH cover two stack height profiles — at 36" tall, the MTBS-SQ is suited for standard-height bale stacks where top-bale containment is not a concern. At 60" tall, the MTBS-SQH is designed for high-speed bale handling on large operations where 3-5 high stacks are routine and bale rolloff risk must be prevented.
- MTBS-R single-main-tine configuration with stabilizers handles round bales more reliably than multi-tine spears — round bales have a different penetration geometry than square bales. A single 49" main spear penetrates the center of the round bale from the end, with two 24" stabilizer tines providing anti-roll support. This is the same configuration used on most purpose-built round bale handlers and provides more stable bale control than a multi-tine rectangular frame on a round bale.
- Built-to-order for any telehandler carriage eliminates adapter plate compromises — rather than using a skid steer adapter to run SSQA bale spears on a telehandler, the MTBS series is built directly for the specific telehandler carriage. This maximizes structural strength and eliminates the ROC and weight penalties of a separate adapter plate.

❓ FAQs
|
Q: How do I order a MTBS with the correct mount for my telehandler?
Call eSkidSteer at 866-757-8337 or use the product notes field when ordering to specify your telehandler make, model, and carriage type. Haugen builds carriage mounts for Cat, Manitou, JLG, Genie, SkyTrak, Lull, and others. If your machine is not listed, they will quote a custom mount. |
|
Q: What is the advantage of MTBS-SQH (High Back) over MTBS-SQ?
Both use four 39" Conus 2 tines on a 66" frame. The MTBS-SQ has a 36" tall frame — adequate for 2-3 bale stacks where the operator has full control of the lift. The MTBS-SQH has a 60" tall frame, nearly double the height, preventing top-stack bales from rolling over the frame during rapid transport. Choose the SQH if you stack 3+ bales high or operate at speed on rough terrain where bale momentum could cause rolloff. |
|
Q: Why does the MTBS-R use a different tine configuration than the square bale variants?
Round bales have a circular end profile with a roughly 5-6 ft diameter. A single center spear (49" main tine) penetrates the bale end at the center axis for maximum stability, while two shorter 24" stabilizer tines prevent the bale from rolling off the main spear during transport. A multi-tine rectangular frame designed for square bales does not provide effective support geometry for a round bale end face. |
|
Q: Can these bale spears be used on skid steers?
No — MTBS series bale spears are built with telehandler carriage mounts, not Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach. For skid steer bale spears, see the Haugen MLSBS series. |
|
Q: Are these available for Euro/global telehandler mounts?
Haugen builds for most telehandler carriage types. Some European telehandlers use a Euro/global-style carriage. Contact eSkidSteer at 866-757-8337 with your machine's carriage specifications to confirm compatibility and lead time. |
