I refuse to buy anything Tarter, it's just weak junk with pretty paint. Dad will sneak off and bring some of that crap back to the farm, lol.
I have ordered a couple online before and they come to your door in just a few days. I bought a 3-point ball hitch to pull the goose necks around behind the tractor and have had many loads on a 25' trailer (14 5x5 bales loaded) and not torn it up yet.

Only ones I've had hold up are German SHW brand spears.

I have a Titan on mine, out of Mississippi, I bought the Pro frame model that has the pallet forks and has the receiver for the bale spear and receiver hitch for a ball to pull trailers made into the frame. Then purchased the spears separately from them too. So far, I like it. I even like the ball hitch for moving trailers and equipment while cutting grass, Handy as a pocket on a shirt.
Here is a link to what I bought. They delivered it to my door by FedEx:
No I'm not a salesman for them just like what I bought. I use the pallet forks just as much or more than the bale spear. They do just sell the bale spear though.

I've got two king kutter bale spears. They're ok. Neither one of them get used very much.
One is the kind that bolts on over the bucket. It's easy for my dad to put on and off. He moves 1 round bale about every two weeks.
The other one is a 3pt spear that we sometimes use when we're carrying two bales with the tractor.

I see some on there that are less than $300, supposedly ships Fed Ex, so that would be good as trucks can't come here. Not sure how good they are.I have ordered a couple online before and they come to your door in just a few days.

I don't know much about bale spears other than if you don't have the spear torqued up right to the frame they break.

I build all my own frames and then use SHW spears and sockets. I haven't seen too many factory made setups that will handle 2x 2000+lb silage bales at a time and not get destroyed.
I have an Armstrong brand 3pt. It's not total junky but not real heavy duty. Looked at it the other day and the ear that comes off for one of the bottom pins was bent. No clue how or when it happened but at some point it folded a little.
That's pretty bad when you don't even realize you did it.

I see a lot of the spears on there for less than $300 makes me wonder how good they can be.I have ordered a couple online before and they come to your door in just a few days.

Stumbled across this 3 point spear, I like the concept but wonder if it's any good.

I build my spears out of old salvaged truck axles. 1-1/2 ton trucks are best and ain't broke one yet

I have a couple my dad made that way. With my Vermeer balers the bales as so thigh they want go in. You can use them on the 5x5 bales kind of, but you just push the 5x4 bales trying to get them in. Even the tapered rods all the way out can be a pita to use. I have used pallet forks on some bales to move.

I've bought a couple things from Vevor... all I'll say is mid-grade Chinese junk. My theory has been I need it to last for one project at their price point.
Not something I would trust for multiple uses in a bale spear...
