🔩Forged Conus tines
🪝Universal quick attach
📘 Overview
The Haugen combo bale spear (MCBS) is a skid steer bale spear handling round and square bales on one frame without changing attachments. A single 49" Conus 2 tine takes round bales through the centre; three 32.4" Conus 1 tines below handle squares and stabilise rounds. 225 lbs, universal skid steer quick attach.
If your season runs round bales at one end and squares at the other, this is the spear that covers both.

🌾 One Spear, Both Bale Shapes
Most operations that handle hay handle both shapes at some point, and the usual answer is two spears and a coupler change every time. The combo puts both patterns on one frame.
- Round bales. The single 49" Conus 2 goes through the centre, with the three lower tines stopping the bale rotating around it — the same principle as a dedicated round spear.
- Square bales. The three 32.4" Conus 1 tines enter across the face and hold the bale flat, as a dedicated square spear would.
At 225 lbs it is 50 lbs heavier than a dedicated round spear and 20 lbs heavier than a square — the cost of carrying both patterns. For an operation that switches regularly, that is a good trade against the time and the second attachment.
🔩 Conus Tines — What They Are and Why They Matter
Haugen fits forged German Conus tines rather than cold-rolled bar, and the difference shows up in the field.
- Forged, not rolled. A Conus tine is forged to a taper, so the section is thickest at the base where bending load is highest and slimmest at the tip where it has to enter the bale. Cold-rolled bar is the same section end to end.
- The taper is the point. A tapered tine slides into a dense bale with less force and releases it without dragging, which is what stops you shaking a bale off the spear.
- Two classes. Conus 1 tines are lighter — the 32.4" weighs 9.5 lbs. Conus 2 are heavier duty: the 39" is 18 lbs and the 49" is 21 lbs.
- Replaceable. Tines are the wear and damage item and swap individually. Conus sleeves are available separately.
Cold-rolled tines are also available on some models where a straight parallel section suits the job — they are a different tool, not a lesser one.

❓ Combo Bale Spear FAQs
Does it really handle both bale shapes?
Yes. The 49" Conus 2 centre tine is a round bale spear; the three 32.4" Conus 1 tines below it are a square bale pattern and also stabilise rounds against rotation. No changeover between the two.
Is it as good as a dedicated spear?
For most work, yes — the tine patterns are the same as the dedicated tools. A dedicated square spear with 34" useable tine reaches further into large dense squares than the 32.4" Conus 1 tines here, so if your squares are big and heavy the specialist has an edge.
How much heavier is it?
225 lbs against 175 lbs for a dedicated round spear and 190 to 205 lbs for a square. Carrying both patterns costs weight, though it is still light relative to the bale.
Are the tines replaceable?
Yes, individually. Conus sleeves are available separately.
What does it mount to?
Universal skid steer quick attach — any skid steer or compact track loader with the standard interface.
Which tines are which class?
The main 49" is a Conus 2 at 21 lbs, the heavier class, since it carries a whole round bale. The three 32.4" lower tines are Conus 1 at 9.5 lbs each.
