A skid steer bale spear has a single member, or cross tube, to which joins at least one spear and balance spikes. The member then has plates proximate each end welded to the member for connection to a tractor or skid steer loader following the spacing and orientation for the Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach. Additionally, this skid steer bale spear includes a rollback angle to the spear, foot grips, backstops, and detachable spears and spikes. This skid steer bale spear uses less resources, capital, labor, and materials for manufacturing. The member, spear, and balance spikes can be shipped and merchandised in a compact form. At the farm or the ranch, the skid steer bale spear assembles in minutes with hand tools and readily connects to a tractor or loader.

1. A device that receives at least one bale of agricultural product and that attaches to a piece of equipment using the Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach wherein said device disassembles into a compact form for storage and shipment, comprising: at least one spear having a narrow elongated shape and a pointed tip, and a base opposite said tip, said base having an aperture therethrough;a frame including a cross tube receiving said at least one spear, said cross tube being perpendicular to said spear, said cross tube having two spaced apart ends generally outwardly of said at least one spear, and two plate assemblies joining to each of said ends, wherein each of said plate assemblies adapting to connect with Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach to a piece of equipment;each of said plate assemblies having an end plate generally upon said end of said cross tube and perpendicular to the length of said cross tube; a plate perpendicular to said end plate and adjoining said cross tube, a lip plate upon said plate above said cross tube, an attachment plate opposite said lip plate and upon said plate below said cross tube, and at least one gusset mutually parallel and spaced apart from said end plate, said gusset extending above said cross tube and below said cross tube, thus said plate assembly connecting to a piece of equipment using universal skid steer quick attach. 2. The bale receiving device of claim 1 further comprising: said cross tube having a generally hollow cross section, a top surface, a front surface perpendicular to said top surface and a rear surface opposite said front surface, at least one socket extending through said front surface and said rear surface and perpendicular to said cross tube for receiving said at least one spear, at least one foot grip joining to said top surface, generally centered upon said cross tube. 3. The bale receiving device of claim 2 wherein said at least one spear in cooperation with said cross tube and said plate assemblies attains at least a ten degree angle above the horizontal thus aiding the retention of at least one bale of agricultural product upon said device during usage upon rough terrain. 4. The bale receiving device of claim 2 further comprising: said device having one spear generally centered upon said cross tube beneath said foot grip, two sockets mutually parallel and spaced away and beneath said spear, each of said sockets receiving a spike, and a plate assembly upon each end. 5. The bale receiving device of claim 2 further comprising: said device having two spears mutually parallel and spaced apart upon said cross tube, and a plate assembly upon each end; and,each of said spears locating in line with the center of each of said plate assemblies. 6. The bale receiving device of claim 2 further comprising: said device having three spears mutually parallel with one of said spears generally centered upon said cross tube beneath said foot grip and the other of said spears spaced apart from the center of said cross tube, and a plate assembly upon each end, each plate assembly locating inwardly of the axis of each spear outwardly from the center of said cross tube. 7. The bale receiving device of claim 1 further comprising: said attachment plate having a slot therein generally parallel to said cross tube. 8. A device that receives at least one bale of agricultural product and that attaches to a piece of equipment using the Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach wherein said device disassembles into a compact form for storage and shipment, comprising: at least one spear having a narrow elongated shape and a pointed tip, and a base opposite said tip;a frame including a cross tube receiving said at least one spear, said cross tube being perpendicular to said spear, said cross tube having two spaced apart ends generally outwardly of said at least one spear, and two plate assemblies joining to each of said ends, wherein each of said plate assemblies adapting to connect with Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach to a piece of equipment;each of said plate assemblies having an end plate generally upon said end of said cross tube and perpendicular to the length of said cross tube; a plate perpendicular to said end plate and adjoining said cross tube, a lip plate upon said plate above said cross tube, an attachment plate opposite said lip plate and upon said plate below said cross tube, and at least one gusset mutually parallel and spaced apart from said end plate, said gusset extending above said cross tube and below said cross tube, thus said plate assembly connecting to a piece of equipment using universal skid steer quick attach.
