My shop is trussed, 30' span, 3/12 pitch., 12' floor to bottom of trusses. I had a JD 157 loader as I recall on a JD 4010. I got a heavy duty pallet (skid) and slid it over the two stabilizing forks and secured it to the spike's frame so it would stay put. There were 3 in the crew, one on each side of the building straddling the wall "headers" and the third riding on the platform with the truss swinging off the main spike.
On another occasion I took a piece of 2 ⅞ drill pipe about 8' long and slid it over the same main spear. Took a piece of #3 rebar and made a loop at the tip for hanging a chain. To ensure it stayed put on the hay spike I welded a piece of steel on the spike frame just above the end of the pipe to prevent the tractor end of the pipe from being able to raise up....putting excessive pressure on the tip of the spike. This forced the load to be better distributed along the entire spike. On the pipe at the tractor end I welded a flat plate with a hole that matched a hole drilled in the plate mentioned above whereby I could drop a bolt through the holes and ensure that the pipe stayed put. Worked just fine.
