COUNTY LINE BUCKET MOUNT HAY SPEAR~INSTALL AND REVIEW

[@lonny03nmsu]

i think its installed upside down, this may correct some of the issue. love the channel thank you!

[@randyhensley150]

Not only do you have the weight farther out front with this setup but you have the weight of the bucket. I think going with the the skid steer quick attach forks listed in your description is a lot better idea. You can get by with this but you likely won’t be 100% satisfied with it. Keep up the great videos.

[@BIGALTX]

I think I'm taking it back and going with the QA

[@randyhensley150]

TexasPrepper2 Don’t forget to let us see it if you do.

[@portugeeprepper6821]

How much cheaper was that compared to the quick attach.

[@BIGALTX]

This was $270 Cheapest QA is about $550... most are around $800

[@DIYSolarandWind]

Pretty cool piece of equipment.

[@edcpacks8739]

will you be doing any follow ups? id love to see how it ages

[@BIGALTX]

Yep... a follow up (with a twist) will be in the next few days

I need one of those spears to pick up some of my apples. They're huge! And fishing in Michigan! Woo-ee! We have 8" pike! Yeah, that's right. In Michigan we measure them between the eyes!

[@orowizard1369]

I bought the same removable hay fork. Bent the stabilizer bars badly when I didn't get it centered properly and the bale rolled. I think it is more of a toy than a real tool. These were 4x5 bales. That is the small ones.

[@BIGALTX]

Ouch! :(

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

My neighbor has one of those on his 310c Deere Backhoe loader...................... To date he has taken out two rear windows on customers new Pickup trucks!!!!!

[@BIGALTX]

Ouch! I guess that’s something that you have to be very careful of, and take the extra length into consideration when you start loading something.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

Being as we Round bale everything for speed and efficency in handling, then convert to small squares as needed, we handle large numbers of Round Bales numerous times, we have 4 tractors with loaders and spears plus a wheel loader spear equipped

[@garyjohn316]

How much do those rolls of hay cost? I thought you said 70 dollars in another video but I cant find it.

[@BIGALTX]

I paid $50 delivered. That's pretty good. Most fertilized hay rolls of that size around here are that or more, but you have to haul them yourself.

[@SladeMcCuiston]

Never seen such a pretty hole made with a torch.

[@BIGALTX]

I lucked out. Usually my cuts are laughable

[@dallascoppernoll8543]

The long piece that is on top should be on the bottom

[@johnbates5389]

Great video!

[@rahangman]

I enjoy your postings always...my new to me Kubota L3400 came with a seperate hay spike (dual 4's) and I handle a 5x4 bale quite well with my box blade & rear tires with liquid..please be careful

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Like the Bible scripture.👍🏼

[@BIGALTX]

Thanks! 😎

[@dontaylor1124]

You REALLY need to invest in impact sockets. I have had chrome sockets explode, not fun...

[@Atoyota]

Doesn't look as if you can stack them because the loader (bucket) and the bail is quite a bit of weight. Maybe if you had a fork attachment (which I'm almost positive you do) you could weld up a bracket to bring the spear closer in.

[@joeworden825]

I'd opt for the quick attach on the frontend loader. Once you get moving around you'll find you start bouncing around a lot on the uneven ground(more stress on the equipment). Yes! toys are expensive.......... but so are repairs and repairs come at the most inconvenient times. JMHO

[@BIGALTX]

Yep... I've about made up my mind to take this back and go with quick attach.

[@bl688]

Them bucket mount bale spears are junk and wonk take long and you will bend up your bucket

[@BIGALTX]

I didn’t have it very long. I took it back. I think you are right about it being low quality.

[@tomhickman1006]

I've seen them braced from the top of the bucket to the spear. This will spead out the load. That should help.
