U249-49 – Skid Steer Hay Attachment

The AG-GO U249-49 Skid Steer Hay Attachment is a heavy-duty bale handling solution manufactured in the U.S.A. and engineered to improve stability, reduce bale damage, and increase efficiency during daily hay operations. Designed for dependable performance in demanding agricultural environments, this attachment mounts to most skid steers using a universal skid steer quick attach coupler, allowing for fast installation and reliable operation in the field or feedlot.

Built with a focus on strength, control, and longevity, the U249-49 is well suited for farmers and operators who require consistent performance when handling large round bales. Its design minimizes unnecessary bale disturbance while maintaining predictable load control throughout feeding, transport, and staging tasks.

Kicked-Out Coupler Design and Load Control

The U249-49 features a kicked-out coupler base that increases rollback, improving operator control when lifting and transporting heavy hay bales. This geometry helps position the load closer to the skid steer, reducing forward leverage and enhancing machine stability during operation.

An integrated load backrest is built into the frame to support the bale once it is lifted. The backrest helps prevent rolling or shifting during transport, especially on uneven terrain or during frequent stops and starts. Together, the kicked-out coupler and load backrest contribute to safer operation, improved balance, and greater overall control when handling round bales.

Bale Spears, Construction, and Durability

This skid steer hay attachment is equipped with two 49-inch heavy-duty bale spears, each rated at 3,500 pounds at a 30-inch load center. The dual-spear configuration improves balance and load distribution while delivering strong penetration and secure holding power in dense round bales. This setup helps maintain consistent control and reduces unwanted bale movement during transport.

Constructed from high-strength steel and built in the U.S.A., the U249-49 is designed to withstand tough agricultural conditions while delivering long-term durability. Its robust frame supports repeated lifting cycles and heavy loads without compromising structural integrity, making it ideal for routine feeding and hay handling operations.

The U249-49 skid steer hay attachment is backed by a limited one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, providing confidence in product quality and workmanship.
