About this product
📘 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.

🚜 Which Machines Fit the Double Bale Spear?
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.
❓ Double Bale Spear Questions, Answered
What is the difference between the double bale spear and the round bale spear?
The Top Dog double bale spear uses two 47" spears set 36" apart, configured for square bales where a two-point carry is stable. The RB3 round bale spear uses a single main spear with two lower stabilisers, configured for round bales. Both are rated at 3,000 lbs total maximum load.
How many spears does the double bale spear have?
Two main 47" bolt-in spears with 42" usable length, plus one 1" cold roll stabiliser spear (23" with 18.5" usable) to prevent the load rotating.
What is the load capacity?
The Top Dog double bale spear is rated at 3,000 lbs total maximum load. Actual lifting capacity is limited by whichever is lower — the spear rating or your machine’s rated operating capacity at working reach.
Are the spears replaceable?
Yes. All spears are bolt-in units (part 49667 for the 47" main spears, part 33160-7 for the stabiliser) seating into weld-in sleeves (part 49668), so a bent spear is a parts replacement.
Is a triple bale spear available?
Yes. Top Dog offers a triple bale spear under part number 9033159 at 224 lbs, which uses the same 46" frame and 36" spacing but a different spear arrangement.
How far apart are the spears?
The two main spears on the Top Dog double bale spear are set 36" apart, which is the spacing that suits square bale handling.
Will the double bale spear fit a tractor loader?
Yes, where the tractor front-end loader is fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the corresponding Top Dog adapter plate. No hydraulics are needed.
