Bale Spear Gaurd BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 26-1-34 This bale spear guard is covers the point on a 3-pt. bale spear and also makes it more visible so no one will run into it and get hurt. The guard simply slides over the spear. I came up with this idea after a 10-year-old boy we know was playing tag at another farm family's home and accidentally ran into a bale spear. The boy had to have reconstructive surgery and almost lost the use of his eye.
The bale guard is made from a length of 3-in. dia. PVC pipe, with a PVC cap glued onto one end and a reflector attached to it. I-bolts with bungee cords fasten near the ends of the pipe so I can strap it to the 3-pt. when the spear is in use.
