Looks good, I think I would have put the spears on the bottom though and it could have doubled as a pallet fork.

Maybe it's not too late to drill two new holes in the bottom to create that option.

@@lawrenceb.3349 as is the metal on bottom is to small, it will take some engineering to accommodate the quick attach accessory that he bought.

I agree

Looks great! And I’d say your welds look just as good as many “factory” welds I’ve seen. Nice job!

I was just looking into making one myself

Love your honesty.

Your fabrication skills are great!

Awesome job Evan! Looks amazing.

Great work Evan, you always make things very well.

Great job your a master builder love your videos Thank you

You did a great job on this project

I’ve built a front spear and a rear spear for my John Deere, and I enjoyed building both of them. I liked the fact that they’re built how I wanted them, and I didn’t have to settle for how one was mass produced. I like your design, looks like it will do good.

Evan, you did a great job!

You are a perfectionist Nice job!

Great job 👍💯 everything looks perfect for your homestead 💯👍💚🌱✌️

Evan, I am amazed at the way you look at a job and then jump into it and make it work, even though they sent the wrong parts, you still made it work for you and that is a real talent to be able to do things like that. The hay spear looks real sturdy and should last a long time.

I think it looks and works great. Always wanted to learn to weld. Thank you

Good job Evan!

Good job!.. looks great and strong!💪🏼

Great job Evan very useful finished product! Nice shots on the fabrication

Evan you did a great job on the hay spear look factory.

Love the video Evan on the quick attach hay spear .

Evan, you’re very innovative in your design and detail. Good job!

Excellent work!

Great job,nicely done looks strong. Great vido . Evan keep up the great job

very nice project and presentation, thank you!

You gotta be proud of THAT !!!!!!!

It really turned out nice good job

I like it. You make a good staff. All ways. "bravo" 👏👏👏👍

Nice build. I’m envious 😀

I think it looks great. I am impressed.

Great job' enjoyed the vlog thank's.

Looks. Satisfaction of doing it yourself 👍

Great welding job, Evan. It will last a lifetime,

You did a good job on it nice work

Looks Fantastic Bro!!

Everything prices went through the roof, your doing an outstanding job. Love watching all your videos, keep them coming please. Thank you

Looks great Evan 🤙

That Miller 211 is a great welding machine, especially with the Argon/CO2 gas (no smokey/spattering flux core). You gotta love that welder. Nice job on the welds, too, Evan.

Great job Evan, You built the way you plan to use it. Great planning. The wielding was good, it get better with time.

So glad you like the welder.. Very nice job on moving the bales. Those hooks would serve well for dragging logs out of the woods with the TYM.

I think it is great you made a 3 in one piece out of it. It looks great. Thanks for sharing. Y'all have a Blessed day.

That's the ideal bale speer. Once your speers get shined up those bales will slide right off. Good deal!

Nice build, Evan! I really enjoyed it. It turned out really nice.

Very nice job Sir.

Nice work!

Looks great Even well done. When you make something from nothing it’s amazing how you put your time and effort into something and make it look like one made from a shop.

Flexibility and improvising always wins be day!

Nice welding job 👍

Great job.

You do make a excellant Farmer, a man of all means.

LOOK GOOD

Great job

Nice looking job on the hay spear, I like the hitch for pulling equipment like trailers. Your welds are fine, just like I tell my son, as long as it works and holds, that's what's important. My two spears are on the bottom of my attachment, I also have a 1 spear 2 spike one too, like the 2 spear better. Thanks and have a great evening.

nice job!!!

Thank you!

Well done Evan

Good build! One tip when dropping the bales, you may have to put down pressure with the loader as you back out, then as you see the spears are coming out you can lift the loader a bit and back on out. You can do this in one continuous motion, just takes a little practice - you’ll figure it out pretty quick.

LOVE your channel - You and Reb. have done a GREAT job on your property!! On the hay spear-the spears go on the BOTTOM of the brace-that way when you roll the bale back for transportation it rest on upper part of the frame!! Yours will work for light bales. If it works for you-then it is perfect!! Keep up the great videos - I do not miss a one.

I've said it before. Yours is one of the best channels on KZread keep up the good work sir.

Nice job

A good old Aussie saying..."it looks just like bought one!"

Very Good !!

Looking good

Looking good.

With practice you'll be able to do anything thing you want with that spear, and you built it strong, good job.👍

The hay spear turned out great and you'll get on to setting the bale down level so the spears will slide out easier. First time out with it you did okay . That will be a handy addition to your equipment. Might make an extension handle for the levers to keep from skinning your knuckles? Thanks for sharing. Fred.

Great job Evan. It certainly feels good when you can look at something and say. I fabricated that!!

Even, hate to tell you the bale spikes should have been on the bottom you will find out way over time

You did good

In my experience, make sure the spears are level. I noticed on the 2nd bale the spears were tilted down not allowing the bale to come off. Great job building them! I love this kind of work

As stated before the spears are much better on the bottom. For one they double as a pallet fork but also bales are much easier to pick up and put down because you are entering the bale below the center of gravity. Nice work though!

I was just gonna say. i second that

My dad also had a rear mounted bale spear on his 3 point It was made with one larger spear at the top of the frame and two smaller ones that was lower one in each side .worked really slick

Evan, when MIG welding with shielding gas, you use the 'push' method, meaning as a right-hander, you would be welding from right to left. This ensures the gas shields the weld.

Enjoyed watching your video on making that hay spear. I would like to be able to make one, but that’s not one of my talents. 😅. I just recently bought a TYM 574 cab tractor and love it. Great fun getting out here on the farm bushhogging. Really enjoy watching all your videos. Keep ‘em coming.

Great project Evan, along with doing something you enjoy. Reading through the comments I do find it strange when many seem to criticize your build, ignore if the design suits your needs that's what matters.

Good job I like that will help you on the land at your homestead love it from steve c from state Oregon

Come to the conclusion there is nothing you can't build if you put your mind to it you're awesome so talented and you save a lot of money building your own stuff

Evan while you are at it put another bar on the bottom so you can switch

It appeared when trying to remove the bales you didn't lower the attachment where the weight of the bale was neutral (seemed too high) and initially didn't have the spears level. Great job of fabricating and building. Weld some extension on top of the handles off set on the back side of each for saftey.

Hello Evan looks great. You may want try one spear see it may be easier to move bales. Nice build have a great day.

Looks factory you did a good job on it and good thinking putting the end caps on will keep wasps and other insects out

Great job, as far as the latch handles, sometimes type of extension would save skin, obviously you have all the tools and ability to make that happen

I think its brillaint ,plus u saved money and i bet it will last longer,its a plus u enjoyed doing it xx

...LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE JOB, THAT SPEAR SETUP SHOULD GET 'ER DONE, KEEP SAFE...

Love it

You did a great job on that project. I think you will find that putting the "spears" on and off when you want to use the hitch will become old. BUT it does look great and well built.

I think this is a great job well done. Practice with the spear & you will get the hang if it.

Looks great. I’ve saw ones that was sold at the big box store that looked worse

I’ve not used a bale spear myself, so give this thought and maybe try out sometime… If you put your spears at the midline, they can slide up and down because the hay at those points runs vertical. If you stab about the top third or the bottom third, the hay will be aligned about 45 degrees from vertical and your spears won’t slide as bad up and down in the bale. You hit on a way to solve the problem of the bale turning over - just stack a second on the bottom to lock the first one. As for the spears sliding out without dragging the bale, as odd as it might sound, try getting the spears level and then put a little down force on the bale to make the friction with the ground or bale below more important than the friction between bale and spear. Those spears will polish to a sheen soon. PAM spray might help until they do. Nice job on the implement! Looks professional.

Evan very beefy build. Nice welds. To prevent blowouts welding do a non welding walk thru making mental notes of thinner metal and do these welds as a separate job turning down the settings. This mount will serve you well. Use anti seize in the hay spear sleeves.

🇨🇦 HAPPY CANADA DAY. You have a great day. 🇺🇲 Your Day is Monday. 🚛🚛🙏☝️❤️

You are a very handyman 👍👏👏👏 Get a few fire extinguisher to put around the farm. Just a suggestion

Sounds crazy, but the bails will slide easier once the paint comes off.

I'm still looking forward to meeting you , at the Mount Vernon Rural King.

Looks great, matches the tractor perfectly... plus might come in handy during a zombie apocalypse :D

Hi Evan... just wanted to say congrats on a video you released about 8 weeks ago, "Big Jobs Need Big Tools," which has almost 800,000 views! I hope you get one of those every week. Happy Fourth to you and Rebekah.

Anxious to to hear about the Allis Chalmers tractor repair. I live a few blocks from where the plant that built that tractor once stood

Just try putting the spikes just below centre in the bale not above, should come on and off easier. Worth a try.

My dad had old grader blades he would bolt each one to the loader bucket,it worked really slick picking up big bales those old graders blades are really tough.

Looks good. I've a lot worse on welds on "premium" equipment and switchgear so don't sweat that detail. Maybe spray those nuts safety yellow to remind you of the potential pinch points? Great video.

Don't worry it gets easier with practice. I've found that the spear seems to go in better if it is angled down just slightly.
