HAYSTIX® 336CXJ Crooked Tine Bale Spear with 110T Sleeve Collar

The HAYSTIX® 336CXJ crooked tine bale spear is designed to improve bale handling efficiency by reducing spear binding and improving bale release during unloading operations. Engineered for demanding agricultural applications, this crooked hay spear uses an offset tine profile that helps minimize sticking and suction when removing the spear from dense, wet, wrapped, or tightly compacted hay bales.

Featuring a tapered spear design and an included 110T sleeve collar, the 336CXJ delivers dependable performance for feeding, stacking, transporting, and daily hay-moving operations. Compared to traditional straight bale spears, the crooked tine geometry helps reduce drag during extraction while maintaining stable bale engagement during lifting and transport.

…the 336CXJ is built for operators who want smoother unloading performance and dependable bale control in real-world farm conditions.

Crooked Tine Design for Easier Bale Release

Unlike standard straight hay spears, the 336CXJ features a crooked tine profile that creates a natural break in contact between the spear and the bale during removal. This helps reduce the suction effect that often occurs when extracting a straight spear from tightly packed or moisture-heavy hay.

The crooked tine design is especially effective when handling:

• Wet hay bales
• Silage bales
• Wrapped hay
• Frozen feed bales
• Dense round bales
• Heavy square bales
• High-compression feed materials

By reducing sticking during extraction, the spear helps minimize hay pullback and excessive disturbance during unloading. This can improve feeding efficiency while helping preserve bale shape and reduce wasted material around feeders and storage areas.

The tapered profile also promotes smoother penetration into dense bale material while maintaining stable lifting performance during transport and stacking operations.

The included 110T sleeve collar helps maintain proper spear alignment while supporting stable lifting performance under load. Proper sleeve fitment helps reduce movement, maintain consistent bale positioning, and improve long-term attachment durability.
