165BU – Hay Tine Bracket

The 165BU Hay Tine Bracket is a standard-duty, bolt-on mounting solution manufactured in the U.S.A. and designed for 1.625-inch diameter cross-bolt hay bale spears. Engineered for quick installation and dependable performance, this bracket provides a practical, weld-free option for mounting hay tines to existing equipment. It is well suited for repairs, replacements, and new builds where simplicity, flexibility, and reliability are required.

Designed to mount directly to standard 3″ x 3″ square tubing, the 165BU allows operators to add or replace hay spears without cutting, welding, or modifying the attachment frame. This makes it an efficient solution for maintaining equipment uptime in daily agricultural operations.

Bolt-On Installation and Ease of Use

The 165BU features a bolt-on design that eliminates fabrication time and reduces installation complexity. Mounting is straightforward: the bracket is bolted securely to the square tubing, the hay tine is inserted, and the cross bolt is installed and tightened using the supplied washer and nut. This process ensures a secure connection while allowing for easy future removal or replacement if needed.

Because no welding is required, the 165BU is especially useful for operators who want the ability to reposition or service hay tines quickly. This flexibility makes it a practical choice for farms and operations that rely on adaptable equipment configurations.

Compatibility, Hardware, and Durability

This hay tine bracket is commonly used with 39SB and 48SB bracketed hay spear assemblies, making it compatible with widely used cross-bolt spear setups. Its standard design supports consistent alignment and reliable spear retention during lifting and transport of round hay bales.

The 165BU includes two 58X3U U-bolt assemblies, ensuring a tight, dependable fit on the mounting tube. Constructed from durable steel, the bracket is designed to withstand repeated use and the stresses associated with routine hay handling. Its rigid construction helps maintain proper spear positioning under load, contributing to stable and predictable bale control.

Proudly 165BU reflects strict quality control and dependable craftsmanship. The bracket is backed by a limited one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, providing confidence in product quality, durability, and long-term reliability.
