Key Facts
- Type: V60 bale spear

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You lift pallets, bundles, or stacked material regularly and want the machine you already own to do it
- Quick-attach compatibility means you can swap in forks without a second machine
Skip if
- Your loads are heavy round stock or poles — pipe grapple tines handle those better
- The fork weight would push your machine near its ROC limit for the loads you're lifting
Also consider
- Bale spear for farming operations with round or square bales
- Pipe grapple forks for cylindrical or irregular stock
Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect tines weekly for bending, spreading, or cracking — a deformed tine is a structural failure, not cosmetic; take it out of service immediately
- Check tine adjustment pins and stops before every heavy lift — loose pins allow tines to shift under load
- Grease carriage slide bearings and tine clamp mechanisms monthly
- Inspect frame welds for cracking, especially around the top hook and lower receiver bar — these are the highest-stress points on the frame
- Verify load rating labels are legible on the frame; worn or missing labels are a safety compliance issue in commercial and regulated jobsite use
How to Connect
- Slide fork frame onto Bob-Tach receiver arms
- Pull lock levers to engage
- Verify orange indicators locked
- Adjust fork width to load before lifting — most frames allow no-tool width adjustment
