The Challenge square bale spike is designed to handle large square bales, but round bales may also be handled depending on the tine configuration. It is fitted with four tines as standard (five tines in the extra wide square bale spike which is ideal for export bales) and these are driven into the long side of the bale to give maximum support to the bale while being handled. This attachment is designed to carry one standard large square hay bale; alternatively a maximum of two when fitted with an optional back rest extension.
Optional back rest extension is available for the Challenge square bale spike. This optional extra simply bolts to the top of the attachment. Ideally suited for handling an additional square bale.
