An apparatus for stacking hay bales comprises a base frame securable to a motorized vehicle, a plurality of tines pivotally connected to the base frame extending to free distal ends, the tines defining locations therebetween spaced to correspond to a bale of hay and a push bar extending parallel to the base frame and movable between a retracted position proximate to the base frame to an extended position along the plurality of tines to push the hay bales from therebetween. In operation, the apparatus is used by passing at least two of a plurality of tines to each side of a hay bale, lifting the hay bale by a platform extending from a base of the plurality of tines and pushing the hay bales off the tines with the push bar.

A three point hay lift assembly includes a hay spear device for a three point hitch and a three point hay lift. The hay spear device includes at least one stabilizer mounted to a frame within about 24 inches of a hay spear mounted to the frame. This enables the hay spear device to be lowered without the stabilizers contacting a trailer platform or bed. The hay lift includes a tube configured to slide over the hay spear that is longer than the stabilizer of the hay spear device. A crossbar limits the insertion depth of the hay spear into the hay bale and at least one stabilizer is attached to the crossbar to prevent the hay bale from spinning. An ear extends from the tube to contact the frame of the hay spear device and prevent the tube from spinning about the hay spear.
