📘 Overview
The Haugen large square bale spear cold rolled tine model (MLSBS-CR) is a skid steer bale spear frame carrying cold rolled tines rather than forged Conus. Available with 42" or 34" tines, on a frame with ready-made high back openings so extensions can be added at the factory or fitted later.
Cold rolled tines are a parallel section rather than tapered. On large square bales, which are dense and flat-faced, that parallel section carries load along its full length rather than concentrating it near the base.

🔩 Large Square Bale Spear Cold Rolled Tines or Forged Conus?
Haugen builds large square bale spears with either tine type, and they suit different situations.
- Cold rolled (this model). A parallel section, the same diameter from base to tip. Straightforward, economical, and easily replaced — a 42" tine is a 29 lb part. Well suited to large square bales, which are flat-faced and dense enough that penetration is less of a problem than on a tight round bale.
- Forged Conus. Tapered — thickest at the base where bending load is highest, slimmest at the tip. Enters dense material with less force and releases without dragging. Haugen's MLSBS-C2 uses four 39" Conus 2 tines.
If you handle large squares in volume and want tines that are cheap to replace when one gets bent, cold rolled is the practical choice. If you also handle tightly wrapped rounds, Conus enters more easily.
📏 42" or 34" Tines
Both use 1.75" diameter stock. The difference is reach into the bale:
- 42" reaches further into large squares, which matters on bales that are wide relative to their density — the load needs supporting well past the outer third.
- 34" is shorter and lighter, and enough on smaller or denser squares where a 42" tine would be reaching past what it needs to hold.
Replacement tines are available in 24", 34", 42" and 48" lengths, so the configuration is not fixed at purchase.
🔧 High Back Extensions
The frame comes with high back openings already cut. A high back extension can be fitted at the factory or added later without modifying or replacing the frame — useful if you start on ground-level handling and later stack bales, where a taller back stops a bale rolling back over the frame as you tilt.
📋 Weight Note
Haugen publishes a single weight of 255 lbs for the MLSBS-CR frame as configured in the 2026 price guide. Because that figure covers a specific tine configuration rather than each variant separately, no per-variant weight is listed here. support@eskidsteer.com can confirm the weight for the configuration you order.
🚜 Skid Steer Compatibility
Universal skid steer quick attach — fits any skid steer or compact track loader with the standard SSQA interface.
The bale is the governing load rather than the spear. Check your machine's rated operating capacity against the heaviest large square you handle, remembering that a bale on a spear sits forward of the coupler.

❓ Large Square Bale Spear FAQs
Cold rolled or Conus tines?
Cold rolled tines are a parallel section — simple, economical and easily replaced, and well suited to flat-faced large squares. Forged Conus tines are tapered, entering dense material with less force. Haugen's MLSBS-C2 is the Conus version of this spear.
42" or 34" tines?
Both are 1.75" diameter. The 42" reaches further into wide bales; the 34" is enough on smaller or denser squares and weighs less. Replacement tines come in 24", 34", 42" and 48".
Are the tines replaceable?
Yes, individually. A 42" cold rolled tine is a 29 lb part, which is one of the advantages of this tine type — bending one is a cheap fix.
Can I add a high back later?
Yes. The frame has high back openings already cut, so an extension fits at the factory or afterwards without changing the frame.
Why does tine reach matter?
A tine that does not reach far enough into a dense bale carries the load on the outer portion, which is how bales break apart on the lift. Match the tine length to the bales you actually handle.
What does it weigh?
Haugen publishes 255 lbs for the MLSBS-CR frame in a specific tine configuration. Since that does not map cleanly to each variant, we have not listed a per-variant figure rather than estimating one.
What do replacement cold rolled tines weigh?
9 lbs for a 24" at 1.50" diameter, 24 lbs for a 34" at 1.75", 29 lbs for a 42" at 1.75" and 42 lbs for a 48" at 2.00". Being cheap and light to replace is one of the advantages of this tine type.
