Stinger Attachments | BS3 Skid Steer Bale Spear – Series 3
  • Description

    The Stinger Series 3 Bale Spear is a heavy-duty triple-spear attachment built for handling large round and square bales with maximum stability and efficiency. Designed for both skid steers and tractors, this setup features a wide tri-spear configuration that spreads the load and improves control when moving heavier or larger bales.


    With three full-length spears and a wider stance, this design is ideal for operators moving large square bales or working in higher-volume feeding and stacking operations. Built with reinforced steel construction and replaceable tines, the Series 3 is made for demanding agricultural use.
