I don't know if these Westward bale spears are weak or if I am too rough on them. I broke my second spear here the other day. Second one in about 15 years. That might sound like a lot but my round bales are not as heavy as most plus I don't handle a huge amount of bales in a year. First one broke right in the middle and this last one snapped right at the threads about 2 inches in from the nut. I welded the first one years ago but never did try using it as I was pretty sure it would just break at the weld.
