I was skeptical about this bale spear because the price was a good $200 less than what my local Ag dealers were selling multiple brands at. My reason for purchasing this attachment was for unloading hay deliveries of large square bales that are about 700 LBS. I do not use this attachment extensively for moving hay bales, but have used it multiple times for moving other material like pallets and tree limbs. Time will tell if it holds up as long as the other far more expensive brands.
