Blue Diamond® presents a top - notch, compact hay spear designed for skid steers and tractors. It comes in two styles. You can choose a single spear with stabilizers for round bales or a double bottom style for large square bales, which can also serve as a pallet fork. The German - made spear tines are of high quality, each rated for 3,500 lbs, and the lower stabilizers are replaceable. The strong frames are powder - coated, and there's an option for a bolt - on back rack. All Blue Diamond® Hay Spears come with a one - year warranty. Features include single, double, or quad spears, the ability to be used as pallet forks, an available add - on back rack, an optional bolt - on rack, a 3,500 lb. spear capacity, Euro - Ag/Global and John Deere 400/500, 600/700 mounts, and powder - coat paint. Here are some models: PART NUMBER 311003 (Hay Spear W/HD Stabilizers (Short Spear)) with a 36' spear length and 154 lbs weight; PART NUMBER 311006 (Hay Spear with Standard Stabilizers) with a 48” spear length and 160 lbs weight, and so on.
Using your Blue Diamond hay spear is easy. First, attach it to your skid steer or tractor using the appropriate mount (Euro - Ag/Global or John Deere 400/500, 600/700). If you're handling round bales, use the single - spear style with stabilizers. For large square bales, the double - bottom style is your best bet, and it can also be used like a pallet fork. When lifting, make sure the load doesn't exceed the 3,500 lb. capacity of each spear. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the lower stabilizers and replace them when they show signs of wear. The powder - coat paint helps protect the frame, but if it gets chipped, touch it up to prevent rust. The bolt - on back rack, if you have it, should be checked regularly to ensure it's securely attached. Remember, all Blue Diamond hay spears come with a one - year warranty, so if you run into any issues, reach out to the manufacturer.
