114T Hay Spear Tapered Sleeve

The 114T hay spear tapered sleeve is a weld-in mounting component designed to properly seat and retain 1.625-inch tapered bale spears. Built for secure installation in hay frames and attachments, this sleeve ensures correct spear alignment and dependable retention during lifting and transport. It is commonly used in bale handling equipment where tapered spear systems are preferred for their secure fit and consistent performance.

Designed to support daily agricultural use, the 114T provides a stable mounting point that helps maintain straight spear tracking under load. When properly installed, it contributes to safer and more controlled bale handling operations.

Precision Tapered Fit for Secure Retention

The internal taper of the 114T sleeve is engineered to match compatible 1.625-inch tapered spear assemblies. This precision fit allows the spear to seat firmly once installed and secured with the appropriate conical nut.

A properly seated tapered system reduces unwanted movement during lifting cycles and helps distribute load forces more evenly through the frame. This supports long-term equipment durability and minimizes stress at the mounting point.

Measuring approximately 4.75 inches in length, the sleeve provides sufficient engagement depth to maintain stability while allowing efficient spear installation and removal when necessary.

Compatible Applications

The 114T hay spear tapered sleeve is commonly paired with 39-inch and 48-inch tapered spear assemblies using a 1.625-inch diameter configuration. It is well suited for:

• New hay frame builds

• Replacement of worn tapered sleeves

• Repair or retrofit applications

• Multi-spear bale mover configurations

This sleeve is intended for use in structurally sound frames designed to handle bale lifting loads.

Proper Weld-In Installation

The 114T is designed to be welded into the hay attachment frame independently of the spear. The tapered spear must never be inserted during the welding process. Once welding is complete and the sleeve has cooled, the spear can be inserted and secured using the appropriate conical nut system.

Correct installation ensures proper seating and long-term retention performance. As with all weld-in components, welding should be performed by a qualified individual to ensure structural integrity.
