kidr, before you replied, I looked on TSC and the spears were over $100 each ... What is your source for them (I may use them for something else!)

Hey! what else would you use them for? Come on lets see your idea.

I'm sorry Paul. I don't think i was clear enough.I was talking about using replacement spears only , not the entire setup. I apologize.

I used heavy 3" channel with a gusset welded between the channel iron webs- The forks quich attach to the bucket with a 1" dia rod to several 3/8" plate "hooks"...... See the pictures below.

You were clear .... this is what I was looking at

Tractor Supply Company - Penetrator Kit 3 Point Super Spear Kit

I am working over the plans in my head to make a grapple and I was thinking those spears must just be the ticket.

I like the rod idea.It would be easy to add or remove extra forks for differnt jobs.or even add a removeable grapple.I see a plan beginning to take shape.Thankyou.
