33TS Tapered Bale Stabber

The Hayspears® 33TS tapered bale stabber is a heavy-duty 33-inch hay spear assembly engineered for dependable bale penetration, stable load handling, and long-term durability in both round and square bale applications. Featuring a 1.625-inch (1-5/8-inch) diameter tapered spear, the 33TS delivers an excellent balance of strength, penetration efficiency, and controlled bale engagement for daily agricultural operations.

Designed as a complete ready-to-install bale spear assembly, the 33TS includes the spear, conical retaining nut, and 114T tapered weld-in sleeve/collar, making it a reliable solution for tractor loaders, skid steer bale spear frames, bale movers, and custom hay handling equipment.

Heavy-Duty Tapered Hay Spear Design

The 33TS features a tapered spear profile engineered to provide:

• Smooth penetration into dense hay bales
• Cleaner bale release during unloading
• Reduced drag during insertion and removal
• Improved handling efficiency
• Reduced bale disturbance during lifting operations

Its compact 33-inch length offers excellent maneuverability and controlled handling while maintaining dependable lifting strength for standard agricultural bale handling applications.

Dual-Side Fluted Bale Spear Construction

Like all PRO-Link Hayspears®, the 33TS incorporates a dual-side fluted spear design to improve penetration and reduce resistance during both entry and withdrawal from the bale.

Benefits of the fluted profile include:

• Easier spear entry into dense bale materials
• Reduced suction and drag during removal
• Cleaner unloading performance
• Reduced stress on the bale and attachment
• Improved efficiency during repeated lifting cycles

For optimal performance, the fluted sides should be positioned parallel to the ground during installation.

Includes 114T Weld-In Sleeve/Collar

The 33TS is supplied complete with:

• 33-inch tapered bale spear
• 114T tapered weld-in sleeve/collar
• Conical retaining nut

The 114T sleeve is designed for permanent weld-in installation into bale spear frames and agricultural attachments.

Proper Sleeve Installation

For proper installation and safety:

1. Remove the spear from the sleeve before welding
2. Weld only the sleeve/collar into the attachment frame
3. Allow the sleeve to cool completely
4. Insert the spear and secure it with the conical nut

This installation method helps maintain proper sleeve alignment and ensures secure spear retention during operation.
