It got here faster than I expected it would. I put it on and moved 35 round bales easily. It seems to be a good tool. However, I do have one extra part that I don't know its purpose.
We ordered our bale spear at the end of August/early September so have been using it for about a month. Our tractor is a 2019 John Deere 3038E, a compact utiiity tractor and the bale spear works great and is so easy to attach and remove. We are both in our 70's and have no problem handling this piece. Delivery was rapid but UPS separated the spear from the rest of the attachment so we had to wait on extra day for the second delivery...that was aggravating!!! Not the fault of the supplier.

ordered this spear it arrived in a timely manner. fedx delivered they left it a good way from my home down by the mail box on the ground. never liked fedx . other than that it is very easy to mount and dismount moved 15 large rolls no problems at all very happy with the spear just wish you would use UPS instead of fedx
Well made product! Just as described. Took 5 mins to attach. even carried 5x5 bales no issue. You must make sure what ever you attach these to have enough lift to do the job since being on the bucket makes the lift further out, lowering the machines lifting capacity, but no bending or flexing of spear, and small spears did their job with no wiggle. I love the fact that the piece that goes under the bucket goes 1/2 way back. I am well pleased with this product.
I have an Industrial Tractor so a lot bigger bucket. I had to add about a foot and half of chain to go around the bucket, but other than that it works fine.
Okay here is the deal. So far the only thing that I am disappointed in is that "Neat Attachments" was not higher up the google search list when I googled hay spears. I was so excited when I stumbled upon this site from the google search engine. Everything I saw here was by far less expensive than other web sites. I am so happy that I ordered my spear and it was shipped the same day. Great communication and fast service. I will update review when part arrives. Will order from again.
Extremely handy to avoid switching out bucket for a spear. Easy to attach & detach. Note it will cause a lot of weight to be shifted farther forward, so need to be careful with heavy bales
This unit attaches in seconds after initial setup, can be carried with little effort once assembled.lifts bales fine. I recommend this product. I will be ordering pallet forks when in stock.
Quick, simple and easy to install. More sturdy than my more expensive implements that have to be bolted on. After using this hay spear I am looking at other Neat Farms implements to replace other pieces on our farm.
I wish I would have found it years ago. Small farm - need bucket most of the time and did not have proper spear attachment. This works like a chime and hold my 6' round bales with ease.
