I just finished up a 3pt mounted hay spear. Nothing too special, but I thought I’d post the details in case someone else is looking to make one.

For Category II
Lower Beam Width: 40 Inches
Distance Between Lower Link Pins: 32.5 (Inside) & 36.5 (Outside)
Height of Main Spear: 14 Inches from Lower Links (on center)
Length of Main Spear: 42.5 Inches (exposed length – sticking out the rear)
Length of Lower Spears: 17 Inches (exposed length – sticking out the rear)
Distance Between Small Spears: 26 Inches (on center)
Height of Top Link: 19 Inches from Lower Links (on center)
Lower Link: 2 Inch Gap Spacing With 1 1/8 Inch Pins
Top Link: 2 Inch Gap Spacing With 1 Inch Pins

The main spear and lower spears are removal with a nut/bolt mounted in the opposite side. I turned the smaller spears myself and bored out holding sockets. The main stock is 3x4x3/16 square tubing.

FEL mounted hay spear is next on the list, then some sandblasting and painting.

My welding has improved somewhat over the past few years.

You say your welding has improved. Wonder what your bad welding looked like.Probably better than my best /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.What's the main spear made of, if I might ask.

The main spear was supposed to be "high tensile" steel, but it looks like a plain old casting to me. Not bad though for $60.50 including shipping.
