S39T 39 Inch Tapered Replacement Hay Spear – PRO-Link Hayspears®

Description

The PRO-Link Hayspears® S39T 39 inch tapered replacement hay spear is a spear-only service part for compatible bale-handling frames with a usable tapered sleeve already installed. It measures 39 inches long by 1.625 inches, has a dual-side fluted working profile, and is rated at 3,000 pounds at a 30 inch load center. The S39T includes the confirmed M30 × 2.0 conical retaining nut but does not include a sleeve or collar.

Replacing only the removable tine can return an otherwise sound hay frame to service without cutting out and rewelding a usable collar. Buyers who also need a new sleeve should choose the complete 39TS tapered hay spear assembly, which includes the matching 114T weld-in collar.

39 Inch Tapered Replacement Hay Spear for Existing Frames

The S39T provides a middle-length option between shorter 33 inch spears and longer 48 inch models. Its 39 inch reach can provide useful bale engagement while remaining manageable around feeders, barns, trailers, stacked hay, and other areas where excess tine projection could reduce working clearance.

Two fluted sides run along the spear’s working profile. Position those fluted sides parallel to the ground during installation so the tine is oriented as intended. The pointed, fluted shape helps the spear enter compressed bale material progressively and limits unnecessary surface contact during withdrawal.

The S39T may be used for suitable round or square bales containing grass hay, alfalfa, straw, cornstalk material, silage, haylage, or other baled forage. Actual suitability depends on bale dimensions, density, moisture, wrapping, weight, and center of gravity. Large square bales or unusually dense loads may require multiple primary spears, stabilizer tines, or a different frame arrangement.

When properly installed, the replacement tine may serve compatible tractor-loader hay frames, skid steer bale attachments, 3 point bale movers, livestock-feeding equipment, and custom agricultural carriers. These machine types do not establish direct fit. The existing collar, frame, coupler, spear position, clearances, welds, and equipment capacity must all be verified.

Checking the Sleeve and Installing the M30 Nut

The 114T is the verified PRO-Link weld-in collar used with the complete 39TS assembly. Another tapered sleeve may be suitable for the S39T when it correctly matches the mounting profile, seating depth, thread clearance, alignment, and supporting structure. A nominal 1.625 inch opening alone does not confirm compatibility.

Before replacing the tine, inspect the existing sleeve, internal seat, surrounding steel, and welds. Do not reuse a collar that is cracked, distorted, loose, heavily corroded, excessively worn, or unable to seat the tapered mounting end correctly. Replacing the spear cannot restore strength to a damaged sleeve or frame.

Clean the mating surfaces and threads before assembly. Insert the tapered mounting end into the serviceable collar, orient the fluted sides parallel to the ground, and install the included M30 × 2.0 conical retaining nut. Tightening the conical nut draws the matching tapered surfaces together. Use the applicable installation instructions rather than assuming a universal torque value.

PRO-Link’s bale spear sleeve and collar guide explains tapered seating, collar inspection, and the difference between tapered and cross-bolt mounts. Agricultural dealers also carry PRO-Link products; K+K Vet Supply lists the corresponding complete 39TS assembly with the sleeve and conical nut included.

The published 3,000 pound rating applies only to the individual spear at the stated load center. The complete setup remains limited by its lowest-rated component. Inspect the point, flutes, taper, threads, nut, sleeve, frame, and welds regularly, and stop using damaged or loose equipment. The S39T is covered by PRO-Link’s one-year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects, subject to the complete terms.

Questions & Answers

Does the S39T include a sleeve or collar?

No. It includes the 39 inch fluted tapered spear and M30 × 2.0 conical retaining nut. Select the complete 39TS assembly when a new 114T sleeve is also required.

How do I know whether the S39T fits my existing hay frame?

Confirm the tapered mounting profile, sleeve condition, seating depth, thread clearance, spear orientation, surrounding frame, and equipment capacity. Diameter alone does not verify fit.

What is the capacity of this 39 inch tapered replacement hay spear?

The individual S39T is rated at 3,000 pounds at a 30 inch load center. The attachment and machine must remain within the lowest applicable rating.
