S336TXJ 33-Inch Replacement Hay Spike – Tapered HAYSTIX®

The HAYSTIX® S336TXJ 33 inch replacement hay spike is a spear-only tine for repairing a compatible bale-handling attachment that already has a correctly installed, serviceable 110T sleeve. It measures 33 inches long by 1.375 inches in diameter and is rated at 1,700 pounds at a 30-inch load center. Its slim tapered profile provides practical penetration for suitable round and square bales, including dense, wet, frozen, or tightly compacted hay.

The S336TXJ belongs to PRO-Link’s multipurpose spear category because of its 1.375-inch diameter. It carries the HAYSTIX® name because it uses the Doublenut® retention system. The “S” prefix identifies this as a spear-only replacement, so a sleeve or collar is not included.

Replacing a Worn Tine Without Rebuilding the Frame

A spear-only replacement can restore an attachment without removing and rewelding the collar when the original tine is bent, cracked, badly worn, or missing but the existing 110T and surrounding structure remain suitable for service. Before ordering, compare the old component’s 33-inch length, 1.375-inch body, tapered shank, threaded mounting end, and Doublenut® connection.

Inspect the installed sleeve, its welds, and the supporting frame at the same time. A collar that is cracked, distorted, loose, heavily worn internally, or damaged around the welds should not be reused simply to avoid additional fabrication. Buyers who are uncertain about an older component can use the PRO-Link bale-spear identification-code guide and contact PRO-Link with the stamped information.

If the installation also requires a new weld-in collar, select the complete 336TXJ assembly instead of the spear-only model.

The gradual taper separates compacted bale fibers as the point enters, while the smaller body can reduce resistance compared with a wider spear. The 33-inch length offers useful engagement without the additional reach of longer primary tines. Proper spear length still depends on bale dimensions, tine position, frame design, and the way the attachment will support the load.

110T Fit and Doublenut® Retention

The tapered shank seats inside a compatible 110T Conus I sleeve. The sleeve, tapered surfaces, threads, and retaining hardware should be clean and inspected before assembly. Tightening the first nut draws the matching taper firmly into position. The second nut locks against the first to help resist loosening caused by vibration and repeated bale-handling cycles.

The S336TXJ can be installed in properly designed tractor front-end-loader attachments, skid-steer hay spear frames, three-point bale movers, telehandler carriers, and custom agricultural equipment that use the correct mounting arrangement. These machine categories do not establish direct fit. Compatibility depends on the sleeve profile and condition, frame, coupler, tine alignment, clearances, welding, and equipment ratings.

The published 1,700-pound capacity applies to the individual spear at a 30-inch load center. It does not establish the working limit of the loader, carrier, frame, coupler, sleeve, welds, or completed attachment. Bale weight can change substantially with size, moisture, density, and material, so operators must follow the lowest-rated component.

Engage the dense portion of the bale, travel slowly, and keep the load low. The University of Maine Extension hay-handling safety guide recommends using equipment designed for bale handling, avoiding sudden movements, and carrying bales as low as practical.

Inspect the point, shaft, taper, threads, nuts, sleeve, frame, and welds before use. Stop operating if anything is loose, bent, cracked, excessively worn, or otherwise damaged. The S336TXJ is covered by PRO-Link’s one-year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects, subject to the complete terms.

Questions & Answers

Does the S336TXJ include a sleeve or collar?

No. The “S” prefix identifies a spear-only model intended for an existing compatible 110T sleeve that remains correctly installed and serviceable.

What should be checked before ordering this 33 inch replacement hay spike?

Confirm the original tine’s length, diameter, taper, threaded Doublenut® connection, and sleeve profile. Also inspect the collar, surrounding frame, and welds to determine whether a tine-only repair is appropriate.

Can the S336TXJ fit every tractor or skid-steer bale attachment?

No. It must be installed in a properly rated frame using a compatible sleeve and mounting arrangement. Confirm the carrier, coupler, collar condition, spear alignment, clearances, and completed attachment capacity.
