Overview
A short explainer focused on one specific decision: bale spike versus bale fork. Mike walks through the physical differences, explains why modern tight bales demand a narrow high-tensile 'super penetrator' spike, and notes the bale fork costs roughly $200 more but doubles as emergency pallet forks. Practical cautions about reach and accidental barn damage are included. Best for newcomers deciding which attachment to buy first.
