I'm looking at titan hay spears, wondering if people can suggest the best spear configuration for large square bales. These bales are about 700#. I have a JD 300CX loader, so I'm looking at these from titan:
3 spears
2 spears

I'm leaning toward the 3 spear model and moving the middle spear to the top for more stability.

I have a 2 spear similar to the one in your post and it works great for big squares (1300+ lbs) I also like the ability to pick up 2 rounds, one on each spear..

Our big squares are 3' x 3' x 7' long. Our skid steer has 2 40" spears and we normally handle 2 bales stacked. We use a JD TLB for field collection and fabricated a 3 spear w/ 30" tines for it and normally move 2 bales stacked with it. The 3 spear works much better with no bale deformation compared to the 2 spear especially when moving loose bales. And I should mention the spears are in line and not staggered vertically.

Thanks, I noticed they sell the spears separate, so I think I'll get the 2 spear model and I can always add one if I need it.
