Easy-To-Build Bale Spear Trailer
 |
“It’s a single axle with a long tongue,” he explains. “My biggest expense is the battery and 3,500-lb. winch.”
He built his first one from an old camper trailer axle to haul 1,500-lb. bales. When the bales got bigger - 2,000 lbs. - he built a heavier-duty model from scrap material he had on hand. He used an I-beam and square tubing for the frame, and a 54-in. spear made out of old hydraulic cylinder rams sticks out the back. The back upright beam pivots forward with the winch and a 4-part pulley system. A short section of channel iron stops the bale before it hits the pivot point so the bale is easy to unload.
