[QUOTE="stocky, post: 98066, member: 1150"] rws, there are several different types of bale spikes available to set in the back of the pickup. Mine is hydraulic and everything sits under the bed except 2 spikes that are side by side that are about 2 feet apart and 3 1/2 feet long that come out just above the bumper. this works great and raises and lowers, it is heavy duty so it has no problem with a 2000 lb bale. there are self contained units that you bolt into the back of the pickup and the spikes rest on a bar on the edge of the pickup bed and the motor sits in the pickup bed and is hooked electrically into the truck battery. This also is hydraulic. It will handle 1200-1500 lb bales at most. there is an electric winch unit that sits in the back of the bed with the spikes resting on the back edge of the bed and it is the cheapest as it uses a 1/4 inch calble to raise and lower the bale with an electric motor. the cheapest is a 3 prong spike on the back with a cable and hand winch. this has an anchor in the middle of the bed and the spike in the back and you get up in the back of the pickkup and hand winch it with a comealong to lift. this is for people who feed a bale a day, more or less and the smaller bales. your local farm store has the units for sale or a local welder can make the unit cheaper. bales spike and hydraulic cylinder and you can run it through your pickup engine or put a motor in the back to run the electronics.
