The Bolt-in Truck Bed Bale Spear is a 2,500 lb hydraulic bale mover that bolts directly to your truck bed frame — a cost-effective alternative to a built-in bale bed. The 12V self-contained pump runs off your truck battery and a 20 ft magnetic remote operates from the cab. Once installed, your truck is ready to feed hay every day.

What's the difference between bolt-in and gooseneck bale spears?

The bolt-in version is permanent — bolts through the truck bed frame and stays put. That gives you a heavier-duty mount and a faster, simpler workflow if you feed every day. The trade-off is the bed isn't free for other loads. The gooseneck version comes off in minutes if you need that flexibility.

  • 2,500 lb hydraulic lifting capacity
  • 12V self-contained hydraulic pump (2-Way: power up / power down)
  • 3 in × 16 in welded cylinder, 1.5 in chrome rod, 2,500 PSI
  • Bolts to truck bed frame — permanent installation
  • 20 ft water-resistant remote with magnetic mount
  • 3 qt hydraulic reservoir, #6 SAE hose connections
  • Overall: 64 in × 62 in × 30.5 in, 385 lb assembled
  • Heavier-duty mount than the gooseneck version

Hydraulic Truck Bale Spikes Options:

Both truck bale spikes come with a self-contained hydraulic pump that will connect to your vehicle's battery. The question is how you would like to mount your setup. If you would like to be able to remove your bale spike system completely, the gooseneck is the best option. However, if you want to leave the system mounted and still use your gooseneck ball, the bolt-in option may be best. Both allow you to remove the spears when not in use.

FAQs (5)
What is the weight limit of Pierce Hydarulic Hay Bale Spears?
PIERCE bale spears have a lifting capacity of 2,500 lbs. NOTE: Picking up bales wider than the rear opening of your truck bed may result in truck damage. Also, Lifting anything other than hay bales will void the warranty and most likely damage your system.
What is the difference between the Gooseneck Bale Spear (ABS1K) and the Bolt-in Bale Spear (ABS2K)?
The ABS1K hay spear installs directly over a gooseneck ball; in comparison, the ABS2K bolts into the truck bed so you can haul trailers while the spear is mounted. Both units come equipped with removable bale spears.
How long can I expect my PIERCE Hydraulic Bale Spear to last?
With proper maintenance, a 20-year life can reasonably be expected. We routinely see PIERCE bale spikes manufactured in the early 90s still working on ranches locally.
How long does the Hydraulic Bale Spear take to lift a bale typically?
With normal pressure and a standard bale you are looking at 15 to 20 seconds.
Where are PIERCE bale spikes made?
Our shop is located in Henrietta, Texas, United States, where we fabricate, weld, assemble, and service our bale spikes.
