Large Square Bale Spear - Cold Rolled Tines -Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

The Haugen MLSBS-CR Large Square Bale Spear uses cold-rolled steel tines on a 60" wide heavy-duty frame for handling the largest square bales. The frame carries four tines: two 42" inner tines and two 34" outer tines — the combination allows the longer inner tines to penetrate first and align the bale while the shorter outer tines provide lateral stability. Select the MLSBS-CR-34 (34" tines only, two tines) or MLSBS-CR-42 (42" tines, two tines) variant based on your bale size and tractor capability. All tines are replaceable. Built-in step for cab access. Compatible with optional high-back extensions (factory or DIY). Universal Quick Attach. Made in USA.

⚙️ Key Features

• Two variants: MLSBS-CR-34 (34" tines) and MLSBS-CR-42 (42" tines)
• 60" wide heavy-duty frame — one of the widest in the Haugen bale spear lineup
• Cold-rolled 1045 steel tines — high-strength cold rolled steel for superior toughness over welded mild steel alternatives
• 15-degree back angle on tines — keeps bales tilted back during transport to prevent forward roll
• All tines are replaceable
• Built-in step for easy cab access
• Optional high-back extensions — factory-ready openings for high back add-ons (field or factory install)
• Universal Quick Attach | Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• 60" frame width matches large square bale dimensions — standard large square bales (3×4, 3×3, 4×4) require a wide spear frame to engage the full bale face. At 60", the MLSBS-CR is one of the widest frames available and covers all common large square bale sizes.
• Inner/outer tine length combination penetrates bales more reliably — the 42" inner tines engage first and start the penetration path; the 34" outer tines then follow to stabilize the sides. This staggered penetration reduces bale splitting and provides a more secure grip than uniform-length tine arrangements.
• Cold-rolled 1045 steel tines have higher strength and fatigue resistance than alternative materials — cold rolling increases surface hardness and improves yield strength relative to hot-rolled alternatives of the same diameter. The 1045 designation indicates medium-carbon steel with additional tensile strength for high-cycle bale handling operations.
• Factory-ready high-back openings allow upgrading to a high-back extension without replacing the frame — the frame is pre-drilled/punched for high-back extensions, so if hay storage requires stacking height beyond what the standard frame allows, the extension can be added at any time without replacing the entire attachment.

📊 Specifications

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

Universal Quick Attach — compatible with all standard skid steer loaders and compact track loaders. This is a large bale spear designed for full-size skid steers with adequate lift capacity for large square bales (typically 1,000–2,000 lbs per bale depending on crop and moisture). Always confirm your machine's rated lifting capacity against your expected bale weight before operating.

🚜 Machine Compatibility

Compatible with skid steer loaders and compact track loaders with Universal Quick Attach:

Requires two auxiliary hydraulic circuits. Check your machine's rated operating capacity against the attachment weight before operating.
