Before operating equipment: if you have any questions regarding the proper assembly or operation, contact your dealer or representative.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)
When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires of front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!
Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.
The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.
When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20 mph (32 kph) at night or during the day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.
Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position for transport.
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering control.
TRANSPORT SAFETY
Transporting large round bales on front loaders can limit visibility. Keep load low and go slow if visibility is obstructed. Always use extra care.
Make sure large round bales transported on tractor rear 3 pt. hitch do not obstruct visibility of tractor’s flash­ing lights or SMV sign.
When transporting large round bales, keep load as low as practical to maximize tractor stability.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces, and loose gravel.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Never allow riders on either tractor or implement. Falling off can kill.

TRACTOR AND LOADER REQUIREMENTS AND PREPARATION
INTRODUCTION
The bolt-on loader bucket attachments provide a means of leaving the bucket on your tractor loader and easily converting the loader to handle large, round bales.
The attachments are easily installed or removed from your front loader in minutes. The models BBS-10 and BBSF-12 mount under the loader bucket with the weight of the bale carried on the front edge or lip of the bucket. The 1/2” bolt holds the attachment to the bucket.
ASSEMBLY
Check your loader to make sure it is in good working
order.
Refer to the line drawing on page 11 for proper orienta­tion of the Bale Spear attachment and the bolt, washer, and nut.
Slide the front cutting edge of your loader bucket under the angle iron lip of the bucket attachment.
Raise the loader slightly so that the bottom of the attachment is about two or three feet off the ground and tilt the bucket all the way back for easier access to the bottom of the loader bucket. Engage tractor parking brake and shut off the engine.
Place some solid blocking under the bottom of the loader bucket for safety.
Mark the location for the hole required to bolt on the
loader spear.
Remove the attachment and drill a 17/32” dia. hole in the
bottom of your loader bucket at the marked location.
CAUTION!
Bolt-on bucket attachments hold the load in front of the loader bucket. The loader must have a lift capac­ity 1000 lbs. greater than the weight of the bale to be handled. If the loader does NOT have this capacity, then a different attachment that requires the removal of the bucket should be considered.
NOTE: The maximum load for the attachments is as
follows:
BBS-10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1500 lbs.
BBSF-12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1800 lbs.
CAUTION!
The use of any loader attachment is NOT recom­mended on tractors with a tricycle wheel arrange­ment. Tricycle type tractors are unstable for front loader use.
CAUTION!
It is recommended that tractors be equipped with a
rollover protective structure (ROPS) or cab.
Check your tractor and front loader to make sure they are in good working condition. Check all frame mounting bolts to make sure they are tight.
Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should
have a cross-tie installed for stability.
Check the hydraulic system. Be sure the tractor hydraulic oil and filter have been serviced according to the tractor manufacturer’s recommendations.
CAUTION!
Be sure your tractor is in good condition. Read all the safety precautions and make sure all tractor oper­ators are familiar with the safety rules of operation.
CAUTION!
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a trac­tor. Make sure the front or rear of the tractor is properly counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer badly and possibly tip over, caus­ing injury or death.
W ARNING!
Do not exceed the maximum recommended large round bale weight listed for each of the loader spear models. Damage to the equipment or serious personal injury could result.
The required size of the tractor and front loader will be determined by the size and weight of the bales to be handled.
Remember, high moisture hay (silage) bales are very
heavy in relation to similar size dry hay bales.
Always use a tractor and front loader large enough to
safely handle your bales.
10
Page 12
ASSEMBLY
(continued)
Place the attachment back in position and install a Grade 5 1/2” hex bolt with a lockwasher and nut. If the location of the hole in your bucket is where the steel is thin, then it is recommended that a flat washer be installed on the top side of the loader bucket floor.
Tighten the 1/2” bolt securely.
INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATION
Make sure all operators have read all the safety warnings and precautions in this manual and those in the tractor operator’s manual.
Be sure tractor is properly counterbalanced with weights before attempting to lift any load with the Bale Spear Attachment.
If you are handling bales with both the front end loader and the 3 pt. hitch on the tractor, always load the 3 pt. attachment first and unload last.
Using the bucket tilt cylinders, adjust the angle of the spear(s) so they are parallel with the center of the hay bale.
With the tractor, push the spear(s) into the large hay bale. Make sure you have penetrated the hay bale far enough so the bale doesn’t want to come off the end of the spear(s). If, when you initially pick the bale up, it tends to droop forward, this would indicate you have not penetrated the bale far enough.
Tilt the ends of the spear(s) upward (about 15-20 degrees) when transporting the hay bales. This will reduce any tendency for the bale to slide off the spear(s) while being transported.
When you have placed the hay bale in the desired location, it is recommended to tilt the spear ends slightly downward (5-7 degrees) so as you pull away from the bale it will slide off the spear(s) more easily. Different location and circumstances will determine the best withdraw angle to use.
NOTE: Always make sure bale spear fully penetrates the bale. Partial penetration locates all the weight of the bale on the outer end and can damage spear. Not covered under warranty.
NOTE: In cold weather, a bale frozen to the ground may exceed the lifting capacity of spear and loader. Damage to spear or loader may occur. Not covered under warranty.
NOTE: Soft center bales will tend to droop after being lifted by a single spear. Placing the spear in a lower position in the bale will allow for more lifting height and lessen the load on the stabilizer spears.
CAUTION!
Never exceed the lift capacity of the tractor-loader
used with the spear or forklift attachment.
W ARNING!
DO NOT operate loader and attachment if it is not securely fastened to the loader bucket. If loose, the bale and attachment could come off the loader bucket creating a dangerous situation that could lead to personal injury or death.

YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT!
CAUTION!
NEVER LET ANYONE CLIMB ON STACKED ROUND HAY BALES!
CAUTION!
For operator safety, always keep bales in front of tractor hood. NEVER position bale back over opera­tor. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL!
O PER ATION (continued)
When working on side hills, DO NOT RAISE LOADER TOO HIGH. Keep an
eye on terrain changes. Keep load low.
MAINTENANCE
Check the pins at the ends of the loader arms. Make sure they are locked in place with the linchpins or cotter pins.
Periodically check all bolts to make sure they are tight. Check the large nut on the forged spears to make sure
it is tight.
Lubricate loader as per instructions in loader manual. Replace safety signs and instruction decals if damaged
or missing.
STORING SAFELY
• Never store equipment with fuel in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow engine to cool before storing in an enclosure.
• Always store attachment in a clean, dry location away
from children and livestock.
• Storage location should be level and solid to make
hitching and unhitching easy.
DANGER!
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is made.
When stacking bales, ALWAYS MAKE SURE BALES
ARE PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.
Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. REMEMBER –
FALLING BALES CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.
