Any Ideas what this is?

I built this today for a guy from his doodle , curious if anyone has seen one before I know what it is but do you?

Give us a hint

I am going to guess the box is to receive a pair of closely spaced forks. It is obviously either meant to pierce or easily align with another object. The "one way" stays throw a real curve ball into the scenario. I would have said a bale spear or similar device but whatever it mates to is obviously not meant to come off easily....?

I say it's the first whale harpoon designed to be launched from a tractor

Good fab work BTW...whatever it is.

Hmm im not sure, but maybe its for picking up several cable reels. It would mount over a set of forks. the fingers would prevent the cable reels from falling off

How about a special tool for the DEA to ram it in a crack house and then back out tearing the wall out. Pulling the bars off the windows.

Fancy hay spike.

this is easy.
Seen something like that on a Mad Max style car movie. It pierces the car door or trunk and allows the other car to reel it in.

Boom pole for transporting pipe?

Some kind of an anchor?? Or maybe a winch point when there are no trees around???

I will have to offer two scenarios:

1) The pocket looks wide enough for a backhoe bucket, so I think it's a spear of some sort on a backhoe. I like the previous poster's idea of a reel spear, perhaps for unspooling.

2) Probably the more likely use is a rather oversized olive spear for the worlds largest martini! I like the thought of three olives rather than two, based on three sets of retaining fingers.
