43TXJ Tapered Bale Tine

The 43TXJ tapered bale tine is a square Conus II spear designed for controlled penetration and dependable handling of round and large square hay bales. Measuring 43 inches in length, this assembly is engineered to provide strong bale engagement while promoting smooth removal during unloading. Its tapered profile reduces drag during extraction, helping maintain bale integrity and minimizing operator effort.

This complete setup includes the 144T weld-in sleeve along with the DoubleNut® locking system, creating a secure mounting solution for demanding agricultural applications. Designed for versatility and stability, the 43TXJ is commonly used in multi-spear configurations where balanced load distribution is essential.

Controlled Penetration & Clean Release

The tapered Conus II design allows the 43TXJ bale tine to penetrate dense bales efficiently while maintaining structural integrity under load. Its square shank profile supports multi-directional mounting, making it well suited for custom hay frames and grouped spear layouts.

When used in three- or four-spear arrangements, this tapered bale tine improves stability when transporting large square bales. The 43-inch length provides adequate depth for secure lifting while reducing unnecessary stress on the bale core.

Rated at 3,500 pounds at a 30-inch load center, this spear supports dependable performance in heavy-duty bale handling environments.

Secure Mounting with 144T Sleeve & DoubleNut® System

The included 144T weld-in sleeve allows for solid integration into compatible hay frames or attachments. Once welded into position, the sleeve provides a strong anchor point for the tapered shank.

The DoubleNut® locking system secures the tine within the sleeve, helping reduce vibration and movement during operation. This dual-retention design enhances stability and supports consistent performance under repeated lifting cycles.

This assembly is ideal for:

• Custom hay bale frames

• 3-point bale movers

• Skid steer bale attachments

• Multi-spear large square bale setups

The square design allows flexible orientation depending on the frame layout and intended application.
