HAYSTIX® S336TXJ Tapered Spike Hay Bale Spear – 33″ x 1.375″

The HAYSTIX® S336TXJ tapered spike hay bale spear is engineered for smooth bale penetration and dependable hay handling performance in demanding agricultural environments. Designed with a slim tapered profile, this bale spear helps reduce insertion resistance when handling wet, frozen, dense, or tightly compacted hay bales while improving spear removal during unloading operations.

Built for feeding, stacking, and bale transport applications, the S336TXJ combines efficient bale entry with stable lifting performance for skid steers, tractor loaders, telehandlers, and front-end loader bale spear attachments. Its smaller 1.375-inch diameter tapered design helps minimize disruption to the bale during insertion and extraction, reducing unnecessary bale damage while improving overall handling efficiency.

Rated at 1,700 pounds at a 30-inch load center, the S336TXJ is especially useful for operations handling moisture-heavy hay, silage, and tightly packed feed bales where oversized bale spikes may create excessive drag or difficult unloading conditions.

Tapered Bale Spear Design for Dense Hay Conditions

The tapered spear profile of the S336TXJ is specifically designed to improve penetration into difficult bale conditions. Dense hay can create significant resistance during insertion, particularly when handling tightly compressed or moisture-rich feed material.

The tapered point gradually separates hay fibers during entry, helping reduce stress on both the loader and attachment while improving penetration efficiency.

This design performs especially well when handling:

• Wet round bales
• Frozen hay bales
• Dense square bales
• Silage
• Straw bales
• Net-wrapped hay
• Alfalfa bales
• Heavy feed bales

Compared to larger-diameter hay spikes, the slimmer tapered profile helps reduce drag during removal and improve unloading speed during repetitive feeding operations. Cleaner insertion and smoother withdrawal also help preserve bale structure while reducing loose material around feeders and storage areas.

The square shank configuration allows omni-directional mounting across a wide range of bale spear frames and agricultural hay handling equipment. This mounting flexibility helps simplify installation while resisting rotational movement during lifting and transport operations.

Doublenut® Retention System & Equipment Compatibility

The S336TXJ is part of the HAYSTIX® bale spear lineup, designed for operators requiring dependable agricultural durability and secure retention performance during repeated field use.

This tapered hay spear utilizes PRO-Link’s Doublenut® locking system, engineered to improve retention stability and vibration resistance during demanding agricultural operations.

Benefits of the Doublenut® design include:

• Improved spear stability
• Reduced movement during operation
• Better long-term retention
• Increased reliability in rough conditions
• Improved installation security

The S336TXJ is commonly used with:

• Skid steer bale spear attachments
• Tractor front-end loaders
• Utility tractors
• Compact tractors
• Quick attach hay spear frames
• Telehandler spear systems
• AG-GO hay spear carriers
• Custom fabricated bale spear frames

Proper sleeve and collar fitment helps maintain alignment, support lifting forces, and improve long-term attachment durability during repeated agricultural use.

Its versatile mounting design makes the S336TXJ well suited for cattle operations, dairies, ranches, horse farms, commercial hay producers, and mixed farming environments.

Built for Everyday Bale Handling

The HAYSTIX® S336TXJ is engineered for daily agricultural use involving:

• Livestock feeding
• Bale transport
• Hay trailer unloading
• Barn stacking
• Winter feeding operations
• Feedlot handling
• General farm material movement

Its penetration-focused tapered design performs especially well in colder climates and high-moisture conditions where dense hay bales can become difficult to handle efficiently.
