Reply:Originally Posted by farmer2Love the machine work, but I am not crazy about the design.  I have sold, fed, stacked over 20,000 large square bales and I would hate the staggered spears.  For me, it would really decrease the versatility.
Reply:When doing round bales I used one spear. We bought several large square bales one year and I added 2 smaller ones staggered like yours. I had no complaints with it after I shortened the smaller ones to only about 30" and left the bigger one about 60". The only modification I made was like what you have now with the sockets for the spears to go in.
