Maybe for putting over small calves so you can tag them without getting flattened by their mothers. Not my idea @som farmer said he used to do it

we bought some l/horns, years ago, some with nice rounded horns, and some with some horrible pointed sticking out horns, described as texas l/horns.
Some barsteward was walking through, leaving gates open, so they were bought to deter, worked an absolute treat, from day 1.
The english ones were fine, the texas ones were feisty, we had to inject a calf, and no way were we going to catch it, by hand, and live, so round feeder and loader, worked well, and vey cheap solution, just awkward exiting the cab, and going via the loader, to the calf.
Back with the dairy, quite rare to get a 'nasty' cow now, thank goodness.
on round bales, OM had 1 take off, went over his car, parked at the bottom of the hill, never marked it, volvo's were solid cars.

Wouldn't work with a baler....
I hope you don't shoot yourself in the foot.......
Done a clutch on my loader tractor and took the loader bracket off to do it and weld up a crack in it. It's f**king heavy on your own so needed a crane of sorts to lift it because my little Ford's loader wouldn't lift high or far forward enough without hitting. Enter a broken browns bale grab I had taken apart to weld but hadn't put back together yet. It was aboit as good as anything I could get for the job. I have welded up the crack in the grab too. No pictures though not quite bodgey or quick fixey enough for here.

Fed up getting hands messed up changing the hitch, and the pools of oil on the floor of the shed. Might just work.
But how will the hitch get lubricated nowFed up getting hands messed up changing the hitch, and the pools of oil on the floor of the shed. Might just work.
suppose you'll have a handy bottle of oil on the back of the tractor ready to tip on it

Top tip of the day. Paint the tip of the drawbar of your trailers etc with white paint. Makes hitching up late at night a doddle, especially when your bale carting with the loadall !

Do the pointy bit of the hook as well, though the paint doesn't last.
