What is the best tine configuration to have for large square bales 32in by 36in. Will be lifting into the 32in side. Also where could a person get a quick attaching spear unit with Westendorf mounts. I'm located in NE Iowa. Any info is appreciated.

I am sure it is all a matter of personal preference, but I use 4 27" spears spaced 19" apart. It works very well for me; I lift two bales at a time and have never had a problem.

I'm assuming the bales are still 7 or 8' long?

The best spacing is as far apart as you can go, with maybe 2 long spikes and a smaller one, or maybe 3 long spikes. We use just a clamp on one made for round bales when we need to only move 1 every couple days and it's got 2 spears that are maybe 18" apart. It works, but if the bales are a little loose or you don't stab it on center, they'll tip to one side or just plain fall off.

Yes westerdorf does have a spear for the square bales.

They are smaller diameter and more of them, then what is used for large rounds.

The larger diameter are harder to stab into the bale cause the squares are more dense than the rounds are.
