The 49" 3pt hay spear appears to be built well. The finish is not perfect but you won't know it after you start using it. The odd things to know are that it is built to be universal which means it can be use on regular (normal) tractors and small tractors. They give you bushings to use for the regular tractor which makes putting it on a little harder. Also, the holes are a little small for normal linch pins. Just get the smaller ones or grind a little off of the normal pins. Also, I read this in a review and agree with it. If you got full size bales get the 49" spear.
