HAYSTIX® SM33TXJ Bale Tine – 33″ x 1.75″ – 3,500 lb. Capacity

The HAYSTIX® SM33TXJ bale tine is a heavy-duty tapered hay spike engineered for operators needing dependable bale handling performance in a compact spear length. Designed for wet hay, dense round bales, and tightly packed feed material, the SM33TXJ delivers strong penetration, stable load support, and controlled handling for demanding agricultural applications.

Featuring a rugged 1.75-inch tapered spear profile and a compact 33-inch overall length, the SM33TXJ is ideal for feeding operations and equipment setups where maneuverability and precise bale control are important.

The SM33TXJ is sold as a replacement spear only and does not include a sleeve or collar assembly. It includes PRO-Link’s patented Doublenut® locking system for secure spear retention during repeated lifting cycles.

Rated at 3,500 pounds at a 30-inch load center, the SM33TXJ is commonly used on tractors, skid steers, bale movers, and compact agricultural hay handling equipment.

Compact Tapered Bale Spear Design

The SM33TXJ utilizes a tapered spear profile engineered to improve penetration into dense hay while reducing resistance during insertion and removal.

Its tapered geometry helps:

• Improve penetration into tightly packed bales
• Reduce drag during spear removal
• Improve bale release during unloading
• Reduce bale disturbance during handling
• Improve feeding efficiency

The shorter 33-inch spear length provides improved maneuverability and handling control compared to longer bale spears, making it especially effective for:

• Wet hay bales
• Dense round bales
• Compact square bales
• Livestock feeding operations
• Tight working environments
• Compact bale handling equipment

Its square shank profile also supports multi-directional mounting flexibility, allowing installation in multiple orientations while maintaining consistent structural strength.

The included Doublenut® locking system helps reduce loosening caused by:

• Vibration
• Rough terrain operation
• Repeated lifting cycles
• Continuous agricultural use

Built for Agricultural Bale Handling Equipment

Manufactured from heat-treated high-strength steel, the SM33TXJ is engineered to resist:

• Flexing under heavy loads
• Fatigue from repeated use
• Premature wear
• Structural deformation
• Long-term agricultural vibration

Its compact design and heavy-duty construction make it well suited for:

• Tractor loader bale spear frames
• Skid steer hay spear attachments
• Bale movers
• Livestock feeding equipment
• Compact hay handling systems
• AG-GO agricultural attachments
• Custom fabricated farm equipment

The spear-only configuration allows operators to replace worn or damaged bale tines while continuing to use existing compatible sleeve systems and attachment frames.

Its combination of compact length, tapered penetration performance, and reinforced steel construction makes the SM33TXJ an excellent choice for operators prioritizing control, durability, and dependable daily performance.
