Skid Steer Double Bale Spear - Top Dog Attachments

📘 Overview

The Top Dog skid steer bale spear in double configuration carries bales on two 47" bolt-in spears set 36" apart, with a 1" cold roll stabiliser spear above to stop rotation. Total maximum load is 3,000 lbs across the pair. The 36" spacing is what distinguishes this from the round bale spear — it is configured for square bales, where two spears at width give a stable carry that a single centre spear cannot. The frame is 46" wide by 20" high with 50" overall depth, weighing 265 lbs, and every spear is a bolt-in replaceable unit.

As a square bale spear the 36" spacing is the whole design: two points of support at width stop a square bale pivoting in a way that a single centre spear cannot. Buyers searching hay spear or bale spear for tractor will find the same universal quick attach plate fits both machine classes. As a quick attach bale spear it needs no hydraulics and adds only 265 lbs, so nearly all of your loader capacity goes to the load. For round bales the RB3 round spear is the correctly configured tool.

⚙ Key Features of the Top Dog Attachments Double Bale Spear

• Two 47" bolt-in spears at 36" spacing — the spacing is configured for square bales, giving a stable two-point carry.
• 1" cold roll stabiliser spear — a 23" stabiliser with 18.5" usable (part 33160-7) prevents the load rotating.
• 3,000 lbs total maximum load — a published rating across the spear pair.
• All spears bolt in — 47" spears (part 49667) with 42" usable length seat into weld-in sleeves (part 49668).
• 265 lbs frame weight — light enough to leave most of your lift capacity for the load.
• 46" wide, 20" high, 50" deep — a compact frame sized to standard bale dimensions.
• Triple spear version available — part 9033159 offers three spears at 224 lbs for different load patterns.

🔑 Why Choose the Double Bale Spear?

• Two-point carry for square bales — 36" spear spacing gives a stable platform that a single centre spear cannot match on a square bale.
• Every spear is replaceable — all spears bolt into sleeves, so hitting something solid costs a spear rather than the whole attachment.
• Stabiliser stops the load turning — the 1" cold roll upper spear takes rotational load, keeping the bale square to the machine.
• Rated capacity you can plan against — 3,000 lbs published across the pair, so sizing against your loader chart is straightforward.

Available for two machine classes — the Double Bale Spear uses a single universal quick attach plate that serves both:

Skid steers and compact track loaders — fits machines with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) mount, including:

Compact tractor front-end loaders — fits tractor loaders fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the matching Top Dog adapter plate (Euro 90133219, Euro 2-piece 90133229, JD flat 9033199, JD offset 90133228).

Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration before ordering.
