Heavy-Duty 3 Tine Bale Spear for Manitou Loader, 1500kg with Removable Centre Tine

Product Overview

Designed for Manitou loaders and rated to a Safe Working Load of 1,500 kg, this heavy-duty 3-tine bale spear gives farmers and agricultural contractors a purpose-built attachment for handling both round and square bales with the stability and penetration control that high-volume bale moving demands. The three-tine configuration — two main spears at φ45 × 1,100 mm and one stabiliser spear at φ36 × 810 mm — provides a wide, balanced contact pattern across the bale face that prevents rolling and shifting during lift and carry, keeping bales secure from pickup through to stack placement. Whether you're moving hay bales from field to barn, stacking silage bales for winter storage, or transporting square bales across a large farm operation, this Manitou bale spear delivers the load control and structural strength that daily agricultural bale handling requires.

The centre tine is designed to be removable, a deliberate safety feature that allows operators to detach the middle spear when working in confined spaces, around livestock, or in situations where a protruding centre tine creates a hazard risk. This removable tine design gives the operator flexibility to configure the attachment for the specific task at hand — three tines for maximum bale stability during open-field work, or two tines for safer operation in tighter environments — without requiring a separate attachment or tool change. This adaptability is a meaningful operational advantage over fixed three-tine designs that cannot be reconfigured for different working conditions.

Attachment compatibility is ensured through an integrated Cone 2 taper bush, which provides a precision-fit connection to Manitou loader headstocks that eliminates play, rattle, and movement at the attachment interface under full working load. The taper bush design creates a self-centering, high-friction engagement that distributes load forces evenly across the connection point, maintaining a tight, stable fit throughout the service life of the attachment without the loosening that can occur with pin-and-bracket systems over time. This connection precision is what separates a purpose-engineered Manitou bale spear from generic universal designs that rely on loose-tolerance fittings.

For operations that need to maximise bale-moving efficiency, an optional adjustable high back is available that allows two bales to be carried simultaneously in a single pass — effectively doubling the output of each loader cycle and reducing the total number of trips required to move a given volume of bales. This two-bale carrying capability is particularly valuable during peak baling season when time pressure is high and minimising machine cycles directly reduces fuel consumption and operator fatigue. Built from high-strength steel throughout the spear body, frame, and tine mounts, this Manitou 3-tine bale spear is engineered to deliver consistent performance across the full range of round and square bale handling tasks season after season.
