Here's the bale spear that I made to fit my loader bucket. It simply slides into the receiver hitch and gets pinned in. The bottom end has a piece of angle that fits over the bottom lip of the bucket. I replaced the rear end in my '95 Dodge pickup last year, so I pulled the axles and sharpened them with an angle grinder. I cut off the outer inch or so of the wheel flange, basically to make it fit the 6" wide 3/8" plate that I bought. Works great...I moved 51 big bales Sunday afternoon.
