HPossibility of rolling the tractor over.

3-3 BALE SPEAR OPERATION

The bale spear (Figure 3-2) is intended for handling large round bales. Before operation, set tractor wheels to tractor manufacturer’s widest recommend- ed settings and add ballast as necessary to provide adequate stability for handling round bales. It is rec- ommended that tractor be equipped with a ROPS and seat belts. Approach bale from downhill side with tractor in low gear. Run spears all the way into bale with long spear as close to center as possible. Lift bale just high enough for adequate ground clearance to transport, maintaining good visibility. Always carry load as low as possible when transporting, for improved stability. Use low gear on downhill grades. Unload round bales on a level surface.
