Looks good, I think I would have put the spears on the bottom though and it could have doubled as a pallet fork.

@garynelson4749 2 года назад

agree....100% for many reasons

@justinauman5438 2 года назад

He already has a set of pallet forks I believe

@lawrenceb.3349 2 года назад

Maybe it's not too late to drill two new holes in the bottom to create that option.

@bc8968 2 года назад

@@lawrenceb.3349 as is the metal on bottom is to small, it will take some engineering to accommodate the quick attach accessory that he bought.

@carmineriganti2333 2 года назад

I agree

@ritchieblackmore5204 2 года назад

Even, hate to tell you the bale spikes should have been on the bottom you will find out way over time

@farmertylerranch4399 2 года назад

Looks great! And I’d say your welds look just as good as many “factory” welds I’ve seen. Nice job!

@vvvbbbbcccc Год назад

A good old Aussie saying..."it looks just like bought one!"

@jacobdewoody8858 2 года назад

As stated before the spears are much better on the bottom. For one they double as a pallet fork but also bales are much easier to pick up and put down because you are entering the bale below the center of gravity. Nice work though!

@tuggerman84 8 месяцев назад

I was just gonna say. i second that

@craigmiller4259 2 года назад

That's the ideal bale speer. Once your speers get shined up those bales will slide right off. Good deal!

@andyzumwalt3632 2 года назад

I was just looking into making one myself

@georgedavidson1221 2 года назад

Evan while you are at it put another bar on the bottom so you can switch

@dwalke26 2 года назад

I’ve built a front spear and a rear spear for my John Deere, and I enjoyed building both of them. I liked the fact that they’re built how I wanted them, and I didn’t have to settle for how one was mass produced. I like your design, looks like it will do good.

@powrguy1696 2 года назад

That Miller 211 is a great welding machine, especially with the Argon/CO2 gas (no smokey/spattering flux core). You gotta love that welder. Nice job on the welds, too, Evan.

@michellegerrard6623 2 года назад

Love your honesty.

@arrowjmfarms 2 года назад

Good build! One tip when dropping the bales, you may have to put down pressure with the loader as you back out, then as you see the spears are coming out you can lift the loader a bit and back on out. You can do this in one continuous motion, just takes a little practice - you’ll figure it out pretty quick.

@BRI33NOR 2 года назад

Just try putting the spikes just below centre in the bale not above, should come on and off easier. Worth a try.

@kingkong7617 2 года назад

Evan, I am amazed at the way you look at a job and then jump into it and make it work, even though they sent the wrong parts, you still made it work for you and that is a real talent to be able to do things like that. The hay spear looks real sturdy and should last a long time.

@glennstatham960 2 года назад

Evan, when MIG welding with shielding gas, you use the 'push' method, meaning as a right-hander, you would be welding from right to left. This ensures the gas shields the weld.

@trailrider0194 2 года назад

Don't worry it gets easier with practice. I've found that the spear seems to go in better if it is angled down just slightly.

@davidandrews2306 2 года назад

LOOK GOOD

@richardgreen5602 2 года назад

It appeared when trying to remove the bales you didn't lower the attachment where the weight of the bale was neutral (seemed too high) and initially didn't have the spears level. Great job of fabricating and building. Weld some extension on top of the handles off set on the back side of each for saftey.

@ohhpaul7364 2 года назад

Don't judge me by my non-factory welds. Evan, clearly my friend, you must not have been looking at what they are calling good welds on some of the things they sell now. your work is a thing of beauty in comparison.

@williamwhite882 Год назад

Your fabrication skills are great!

@seansysig 2 года назад

Evan very beefy build. Nice welds. To prevent blowouts welding do a non welding walk thru making mental notes of thinner metal and do these welds as a separate job turning down the settings. This mount will serve you well. Use anti seize in the hay spear sleeves.

@leol1682 2 года назад

Love the video Evan on the quick attach hay spear .

@teenagefarmer 2 года назад

Looking good.

@roscoejones4515 2 года назад

Well done! Either heat up and bend those handles a bit or weld a 'u' handle to the inside of them.

@frrapp2366 2 года назад

just a thought you can weld a square over a long pipe with some chain rings to put cable winches on to make a long extension pole boom that you can pin into the receiver hitch and the hooks

@olddawgdreaming5715 2 года назад

The hay spear turned out great and you'll get on to setting the bale down level so the spears will slide out easier. First time out with it you did okay . That will be a handy addition to your equipment. Might make an extension handle for the levers to keep from skinning your knuckles? Thanks for sharing. Fred.

@ithacacomments4811 2 года назад

Flexibility and improvising always wins be day!

@billb2079 2 года назад

Great build. Grease on the bale spikes before they have a chance to stick will help remove them from the brackets.

@ebptube 9 месяцев назад

very nice project and presentation, thank you!

@richarsbritt4987 Год назад

Great job with the build and explaining as you went. I was thinking about going with the plate you went with but my plans for my attachment plate is for multiple attachments. First to attach will be pallet forks, then my single bail spear attachment, then my 15 in wide trench excavator for French drain and such. Not knowing what else might come up with, I went with 1/2 in solid plate. At 63, plate by itself is more than enough weight. I'll have to weigh it with no attachments.

@codystelzer5700 2 года назад

In my experience, make sure the spears are level. I noticed on the 2nd bale the spears were tilted down not allowing the bale to come off. Great job building them! I love this kind of work

@fredsmith2193 Год назад

My dad had old grader blades he would bolt each one to the loader bucket,it worked really slick picking up big bales those old graders blades are really tough.

@stevenbradford6824 2 года назад

You are a perfectionist Nice job!

@kellyjoyce2399 2 года назад

With practice you'll be able to do anything thing you want with that spear, and you built it strong, good job.👍

@springhausfarmeventvenue4067 2 года назад

You gotta be proud of THAT !!!!!!!

@kellykopsa384 2 года назад

Maybe the spears will "shine up" with use and will slide easier.

@tanneradams20 2 года назад

Sounds crazy, but the bails will slide easier once the paint comes off.

@kuman1987 2 года назад

Excellent work!

@SFCRambo60 Год назад

I agree with the one person who suggested to put the spears on the bottom instead of on top.

@bombardier3qtrlbpsi 2 года назад

For the Spears I used truck axles. Been working great since 1979. Have a spare but haven't needed it. Touch wood.

@totherarf 2 года назад

I am not a bale toting expert ..... ..... but from what I could see it looks like you are spearing the bale with the spikes level with the ground. This means that you can only let go cleanly if you drop the front end the exact same amount as you were off when you first speared it. PMP (practice Makes Perfect) Way better than the old bale system you had ...... and a nice job welding it all up too!

@theresasaunders9773 2 года назад

I think its brillaint ,plus u saved money and i bet it will last longer,its a plus u enjoyed doing it xx

@everythingforward 2 года назад

Try taking the paint off the spears, and maybe dropping the spears lower down to see above the bale.

@robertduffy5805 2 года назад

Suggestion - Get a set of fiberglass blankets from Harbor Freight for when you are using that metal chop saw. I almost burned down my shop with sparks from mine. I was lucky to notice the smoke from the smoldering fire before I left. Might not be an issue for you now because it's a new shop but as you get dust or sawdust laying around it might.

@kentshrader6616 2 месяца назад

@dennyofthepines1457 2 года назад

If you wanted to add forks you could probably fab up a pair that would hang over the top of your bracket. Looks great!

@fredrobinson6990 2 года назад

Evan, you’re very innovative in your design and detail. Good job!

@lamarjohnson3992 2 года назад

Spears should have been at the bottom. Stack up higher in the barn. Even use as forks for a pallet.

@gitatit4046 2 года назад

You're right Lamar. He would have better control of the bales and likely see what the spears are doing better too. Just overall better control. But I guess they will work like they are if he ever gets use to using them.

@Adventure_RM 2 года назад

Looks great, matches the tractor perfectly... plus might come in handy during a zombie apocalypse :D

@annietan9582 2 года назад

You are a very handyman 👍👏👏👏 Get a few fire extinguisher to put around the farm. Just a suggestion

@bobbaker6199 2 года назад

Maybe one at the top and the other at the bottom. Good job! I like it.

@voodoo-rides 2 года назад

Evan we always had one spear in front n one in back so we could carry 2 and they come out easier

@johnsadler8637 2 года назад

I’ve not used a bale spear myself, so give this thought and maybe try out sometime… If you put your spears at the midline, they can slide up and down because the hay at those points runs vertical. If you stab about the top third or the bottom third, the hay will be aligned about 45 degrees from vertical and your spears won’t slide as bad up and down in the bale. You hit on a way to solve the problem of the bale turning over - just stack a second on the bottom to lock the first one. As for the spears sliding out without dragging the bale, as odd as it might sound, try getting the spears level and then put a little down force on the bale to make the friction with the ground or bale below more important than the friction between bale and spear. Those spears will polish to a sheen soon. PAM spray might help until they do. Nice job on the implement! Looks professional.

@vincemccormick6273 2 года назад

@steveprice4779 Год назад

Titan makes a bucket fork with bale spear attachments and 2 inch receiver also. I think it even came with a couple hooks. It was just on sale for around $600 I believe.

@jmt6615 2 года назад

Keep your spears level when going in and coming out of the bail!! Go watch the forklift driver at your shop, will help you learn...lol

@DennisLDavis 2 года назад

LOVE your channel - You and Reb. have done a GREAT job on your property!! On the hay spear-the spears go on the BOTTOM of the brace-that way when you roll the bale back for transportation it rest on upper part of the frame!! Yours will work for light bales. If it works for you-then it is perfect!! Keep up the great videos - I do not miss a one.

@jimg8218 2 года назад

Learn what, how and when to do it especially doing something new 😀 suggest make 2 outside spears wobble mount so bale's will release when bale set down

@susanpiele3372 2 года назад

Come to the conclusion there is nothing you can't build if you put your mind to it you're awesome so talented and you save a lot of money building your own stuff

@jakeschisler7525 2 года назад

My tractor bucket is black and every fall i clean it up real good and spray it with black lacquer which seems to hold up better than regular spray paint.

@sharonallen805 2 года назад

I notice Pete on Just a Few Acres he spears his bales above the middle hole , he has better control of the bale.

@jamedstate5542 2 года назад

You do make a excellant Farmer, a man of all means.

@terrycrowell1981 Год назад

Enjoyed watching your video on making that hay spear. I would like to be able to make one, but that’s not one of my talents. 😅. I just recently bought a TYM 574 cab tractor and love it. Great fun getting out here on the farm bushhogging. Really enjoy watching all your videos. Keep ‘em coming.

@davidmorley523 2 года назад

Brilliant even , if your happy we are happy , 😉

@fredsmith2193 Год назад

My dad also had a rear mounted bale spear on his 3 point It was made with one larger spear at the top of the frame and two smaller ones that was lower one in each side .worked really slick

@stevejackson8600 2 года назад

Someone may have mentioned it already but I would weld a 2 5/16 ball on top for moving gooseneck trailers also

@terrycastor8299 2 года назад

Looks good. I've a lot worse on welds on "premium" equipment and switchgear so don't sweat that detail. Maybe spray those nuts safety yellow to remind you of the potential pinch points? Great video.

@farmingforfunandprofit940 2 года назад

We had a friend that was using those Nut type spears and one of the retaining nuts broke off and took out the front cab glass..... We only use those on open station tractors...... The ones on the cab tractors are cross-bolt

@kcphillips1000 2 года назад

You made a nice job of that Evan .Its a pity your suppliers got your order wrong because your original idea of design would have proved much easier to handle the bales . I have made several bale spikes and found the design you had in mind is much better.

@walterchapman2884 2 года назад

I bet Ethan doesn't put up with that drill press as is much longer. Great job you know what you have in the hay fork, buy one and who knows what you'll get.👍

@44warlord41 2 года назад

You did a great job on that project. I think you will find that putting the "spears" on and off when you want to use the hitch will become old. BUT it does look great and well built.

@joshmiller8663 2 года назад

Evan you did a great job on the hay spear look factory.

@RuossFamilyAdventures 2 года назад

Hey Evan I was thinking would you receive hitch down on the bottom you could probably use a piece of square stock and make up a fork to go in there to stabilize that and that way you could take it out and still reuse the receiver hitch that was something that was thinking about

@adamant3316 Год назад

was pretty impressed with the welds. Id be willing to bet that that the spears are not exactly level/even with one another so that could be a reason the bales are getting snagged on the way out

@williamlillibridge6055 2 года назад

Everything prices went through the roof, your doing an outstanding job. Love watching all your videos, keep them coming please. Thank you

@bigteddy66 2 года назад

There was a bit of a craze for a while putting spikes on the top. The bottom bar acts as a heel and assists the bale to work its way off the spikes. Put them on the bottom.
