39SB 39 Inch Bracketed Hay Spear – 3,000 Lb Capacity

The Hayspears® 39SB 39 inch bracketed hay spear is a complete no-weld assembly for adding a serviceable bale spear to compatible 3 inch by 3 inch square tubing. It combines the 39 inch by 1.625 inch fluted 39SS spear with a 165BU mounting bracket, two 58X3U U-bolt assemblies, and the required spear-retaining hardware. This package gives farmers, equipment owners, and repair shops the main components needed to install the spear without welding a sleeve into the frame.

The individual spear is rated at 3,000 pounds at a 30 inch load center. That rating applies to the spear, not automatically to the finished hay attachment or machine. The tubing, bracket, U-bolts, cross-bolt, frame, coupler, loader, and carrier must all be suitable for the bale and intended work.

39 Inch Bracketed Hay Spear with Cross-Bolt Retention

The 165BU bracket clamps around compatible square tubing with two U-bolts. The spear then slides into the receiving section of the bracket and is secured with a separate cross-bolt. These connections perform different jobs: the U-bolts hold the bracket to the frame, while the cross-bolt retains the spear inside the bracket.

The complete assembly includes:

• 39SS fluted cross-bolt hay spear
• 165BU hay tine bracket
• Two 58X3U U-bolt assemblies
• Applicable spear-retaining bolt, nut, and installation hardware

The Hayspears® fluted profile provides a different working shape from the square HAYSTIX® family. The flutes help the tine enter compressed bale material progressively and can reduce surface contact during withdrawal. Its 39 inch length may provide useful maneuvering clearance around barns, feeders, trailers, and stacked hay when the bale and frame do not require a longer primary spear.

When correctly installed, the 39SB may be used on compatible tractor-loader frames, skid steer hay attachments, three-point bale movers, feeding equipment, and custom agricultural carriers. It may handle suitable round or square bales, but bale shape alone does not establish compatibility. Weight, moisture, density, width, wrapping, center of gravity, and required stabilizer tines must also be considered.

Installation on 3 Inch by 3 Inch Square Tubing

Measure the mounting tube before ordering. Paint buildup, weld beads, dents, corrosion, reinforcing plates, crushed walls, or an incompatible corner radius can prevent the bracket and U-bolts from seating evenly. The tubing and surrounding frame must be structurally suitable for the forces created during bale handling.

Position the 165BU bracket according to the attachment design. Install both U-bolts around the tubing and through the bracket holes, then tighten their nuts gradually and evenly. Keep the bracket square to the frame and use the applicable installation instructions instead of assuming a universal torque value.

Slide the 39SS spear into the bracket until the cross holes align naturally. Insert the specified retaining bolt and secure it with the matching nut. Do not force hardware through misaligned openings or substitute an unidentified fastener. After the first operating cycles, recheck the U-bolts, cross-bolt, bracket position, and surrounding tubing.

K&K Veterinary Supply’s exact 39SB dealer listing also identifies the 39SS spear, 165BU bracket, U-bolts, and mounting hardware. For operating guidance, Penn State Extension explains practices for safely moving and storing large hay bales, including loader stability and carrying bales low during travel.

Inspect the spear, point, bracket, cross-bolt, U-bolts, nuts, frame, and attachment connection regularly. Stop using loose, bent, cracked, elongated, or excessively worn parts. The 39SB is covered by PRO-Link’s one-year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects, subject to the complete terms.

What is the capacity of the 39SB?

The individual spear is rated at 3,000 pounds at a 30 inch load center. The lowest-rated component in the complete attachment and machine determines the safe working capacity.
