55SX Bolt Up Hay Stab

The HAYSTIX® 55SX bolt up hay stab is a heavy-duty bale spear assembly designed for handling large round hay bales, dense feed materials, haylage, silage, and cornstalk bales in demanding agricultural and commercial environments. Built for strength, durability, and installation flexibility, the 55SX delivers dependable performance during repeated heavy bale handling operations.

Featuring a 1.75-inch square spear profile and an extended 55-inch overall length, the 55SX is engineered to provide deep bale penetration, improved load stability, and long-term durability for operators working in high-output farming operations.

Heavy-Duty Bolt-Up Bale Spear Assembly

The 55SX features a cross bolt-up hay stab design supplied complete with:

• 55-inch heavy-duty bale spear
• 175 weld-in sleeve/collar
• Mounting nut and bolt hardware

The included sleeve and cross bolt mounting system provide a secure spear connection while allowing straightforward installation, removal, and replacement when needed.

Unlike traditional fixed bale spear systems, the bolt-up design allows operators to replace worn or damaged spears without removing or rebuilding the entire frame assembly.

Multi-Directional Square Spear Design

The square spear profile allows the 55SX to be installed in multiple orientations after the sleeve has been welded into the attachment frame. This multi-directional mounting flexibility simplifies fabrication and alignment during installation.

Benefits of the square bolt-up design include:

• Flexible installation positioning
• Improved mounting versatility
• Easier spear alignment
• Simplified future replacement
• Consistent structural strength in multiple orientations

This makes the 55SX ideal for custom fabricated bale spear frames and heavy agricultural attachments.

High-Capacity Bale Handling Performance

Rated at 3,500 pounds at a 30-inch load center, the 55SX is engineered for demanding bale handling applications involving:

• Large round hay bales
• Square hay bales
• Haylage
• Silage bales
• Cornstalk bales
• Wet or tightly packed feed materials

The longer 55-inch spear design provides deeper bale penetration, helping improve balance and stability during lifting, transport, stacking, and feeding operations.

Heat-Treated Steel Construction

Manufactured from high-strength heat-treated steel, the 55SX is designed to resist flexing, fatigue, and premature wear during repeated heavy-use cycles.

Its heavy-duty construction helps provide:

• Improved spear rigidity
• Long-term structural durability
• Better load stability
• Reduced flex under heavy loads
• Dependable performance in harsh agricultural environments

The 1.75-inch square profile further enhances strength and support when handling dense or oversized bales.
