HAYSTIX® 144T Tapered Bale Spike Sleeve/Collar – 1.75″ I.D.

The HAYSTIX® 144T tapered bale spike sleeve/collar is a heavy-duty Conus II weld-in sleeve engineered for mounting compatible 1.75-inch tapered bale spears in demanding agricultural hay handling equipment. Designed for long-term durability and dependable spear retention, the 144T provides a secure mounting point for bale spear frames, skid steer attachments, tractor loaders, telehandlers, bale movers, and custom fabricated agricultural equipment.

Built with a precision-machined internal taper, the 144T helps maintain proper spear alignment while improving load transfer and reducing movement during repeated lifting cycles. Its reinforced design is engineered for high-capacity bale handling environments where stability, durability, and reliable spear engagement are critical.

The 144T is commonly used in replacement repairs, bale spear frame fabrication, and heavy-duty hay handling attachment construction requiring a dependable Conus II mounting system.

Heavy-Duty Conus II Sleeve Design

The 144T features a precision-machined Conus II tapered internal profile designed to properly seat compatible 1.75-inch tapered bale spears for improved stability and load support.

The tapered sleeve system helps provide:

• Improved spear alignment
• Better load distribution
• Reduced spear movement under load
• Increased mounting stability
• Reduced wear on spear assemblies

Unlike straight cross-bolt systems, the Conus II tapered fit creates tighter contact between the spear and sleeve, helping maintain stable engagement during transport, feeding, stacking, and repeated bale lifting operations.

The 144T is compatible with several heavy-duty HAYSTIX® bale spears, including:

• 49TXJ
• 55TXJ
• 49FXJ
• SM49TXJ
• Other compatible 1.75-inch Conus II bale spears

Its heavy-duty design makes it ideal for handling:

• Large round hay bales
• Dense square bales
• Silage
• Haylage
• Wet hay
• High-compression feed material

Built for Agricultural Bale Handling Equipment

The 144T is designed as a permanent weld-in sleeve/collar for heavy agricultural applications involving repeated lifting cycles and continuous field use.

Common applications include:

• Tractor loader bale spear attachments
• Skid steer hay spear systems
• Telehandlers
• Bale movers
• Three-point hay frames
• AG-GO hay handling equipment
• Custom fabricated agricultural attachments

When properly welded into place, the 144T provides a rigid and dependable mounting point capable of supporting heavy bale loads under demanding operating conditions.

Manufactured from high-strength steel, the 144T is engineered to withstand:

• Continuous loader vibration
• Repeated heavy lifting
• Rough terrain operation
• Long-term agricultural use
• Harsh outdoor environments

Its reinforced construction helps improve overall bale handling stability while reducing unnecessary movement and wear on both the spear and attachment frame.

The compact weld-in design also makes the 144T a popular choice for fabrication shops, equipment manufacturers, agricultural repair facilities, and custom bale spear projects.
