need bale spear advice on Ford 1600

[twowillows]

have a Ford 1600 and need to purchase a hay spear to move round bales. Can you give me some guidance please, as to what information I should be looking for regarding a 3 point hay spear for this tractor? Will it need additional weight on the front end for moving bales

Most any solid shaft spear with 2 or 3 prongs will do fine for most round bales. Be sure to insert the spear as far as possible into the bale to get the weight as close to the tractor as possible. You will probably need front weight added, but that will depend on what size bales you carry. Going uphill can be scary.
