In Reply to: Weak Bale spear? posted by rusty6 on February 26, 2023 at 22:44:19:
i just cringe when i am moving a bale over rough ground, just idle along. its the shock loading that will cause the breakage , as when it starts bouncing. and yes agree higher is better so its not 90 degree's to the ground. many times starts with a crack then it will eventually break when u least expect it. i have the 2 short forks under the log one on the top. i make sure the taper is good and clean then lube it with never-seize and dont tighten the nut too tight. many times i remove the long spear when i am using the fork it its in the way, such as moving a tote bag. i had a few of them oil field pump rods from them old duplex pumps that i was going to try as a spear but nver did get to use one.
