Building FEL hay spear, have a question

[M5farms]

I have built several overthe years but when I bought the new loader I got one from Titian attachments for around 400 bucks . It's hard to build one that price if you factor in your labor.

Thanks, I was thinking that traveling downhill with no rollback could potentially be an issue...............................

Travelling downhill with the bale in front of you with a B3200 could potentially be an issue itself.

I always have one on the 3-point when moving bales in the bucket.

If I could find someone selling a loader mounted bale spear for Kubota quick attach for $400 I would surely buy one, no question.

I just assumed you had the quick tach or universal quick attach on your Loader

I wish, my dealer/salesman was not very knowledgable.

I vote for extra rollback.

This is my first machine that could use a bale spike. I took off the forks and hung the 3 point bale spear on the fork frame. Soon found out it didn't have enough rollback:

Put an adapter together with a lot of rollback:

It worked great:

why not just buy the attachment and build the QA to your specs I would think the global QA could be easily adapted

I thought about that, but then I would have to modify my bucket to fit ssqa, and have a $300 Kubota quick adapter that I would have no use for.

After m5farms mentioned the global QA I got to wondering what kubota did for a quick hitch,
it looks like they had several different so called quick attaches;
Optional “Bolt-On” Brackets
Work savers may have your QA for your kubota.
good luck
