Haystix

HAYSTIX® heavy duty bale spears and hay tines give farmers, ranchers and equipment operators dependable options for moving round and square bales during feeding, stacking, loading and transport. Many core HAYSTIX® models use a 1.75-inch spear profile and carry a published rating of 3,500 pounds at a 30-inch load center. Specialty multipurpose models may use different dimensions and ratings, so buyers should always check the individual product specifications before ordering.

This category includes tapered, cross-bolt, bracketed and specialty bale spear configurations. Tapered models seat into a compatible tapered sleeve or collar and tighten with the correct nut system. Select assemblies use PRO-Link’s patented Doublenut® system to help resist loosening from vibration. Cross-bolt models use a straight shank secured by a bolt passing through aligned holes in the spear and sleeve. Bracketed models use the matching bracket and mounting hardware shown for the specific product.

Different spear lengths and mounting styles help operators match the equipment to the job. Longer hay spikes provide deeper engagement in large round bales and dense square bales, while shorter bale tines can improve control in tighter feeding areas. HAYSTIX® products may be used for dry hay, straw, wet hay, silage, haylage and cornstalk bales when the complete attachment is properly designed for the material and load.

These bale spears are commonly installed in compatible tractor loader hay frames, skid steer bale attachments, front-end loader frames, three-point bale movers, telehandler frames and custom agricultural equipment. Replacement buyers should confirm the complete mounting profile before ordering. Sleeve inside diameter alone does not guarantee compatibility; the taper or cross-hole design, threads, retention method and dimensions must also match.

Use the tapered, cross-bolt, bracketed, specialty and hardware subcategories to compare the correct hay spear, bale fork, sleeve, collar or replacement component for your existing frame or new attachment build.
