Abstract: A hay spear is adapted to provide for the transportation and maneuvering of hay bale rings. A hay bale ring is generally placed over round bales of hay left in a feeding area for cows, requiring the cows to put their heads through openings in the ring to reach the hay and, in this manner, preventing cows from trampling and wasting the hay. The hay bales themselves are commonly transported with the use of a tractor fitted with a hydraulic lift and a hay bale spear, for attaching to and moving a bale of hay. In the past, the rings have been moved from bale to bale manually, which is necessarily a dirty job due to the messy nature of such feeding areas. The hay bale ring mover allows for the use of a tractor and hydraulic lift in moving and positioning the ring as well as the hay bale. The hay bale ring mover has attached hooks so that a tractor can be backed up into a ring, with the hooks and the spear passing through the openings in the ring.
