Bale spike on rear of tractor

How many of you use a hydralic cylinder for a top link when using these? Looks to me like it would be the cats meow.

I'd love to but haven't. I think about it a lot but it is only during haying when I don't have time to fit one. I even have a good many cylinders to choose from.

Never needed one, but I pick up bales on even ground. In fact, never adjust top link once the spear is on.

Hydraulic cylinder for top link is on the wish list. Just haven't gotten that far down the list.

I have a scissors lift type deal the bale spoke mounts on. Pain in the rear to mount, sort of like a post hole digger the top link is part of the scissors.

Works nice tho!

Got a hyd top link, actually two, a cat 1 and a cat 2, they are really really nice for many things, you won't remember what you spent on them once you use them for a year, would be hard to go back.

Once you use a hydraulic top link on a spear, you won't want to go back to a regular. I've also used one in combination with a scissor attachment. Great for loading bales on a trailer/wagon.
