S39S 39 Inch Cross-Bolt Replacement Hay Spear – Hayspears®

The Hayspears® S39S 39 inch cross-bolt replacement hay spear restores a compatible bale-handling attachment without requiring another complete assembly. This spear-only model measures 39 inches long with a 1.625 inch fluted profile and is rated at 3,000 pounds at a 30 inch load center. It is intended for an existing straight cross-hole sleeve that remains correctly installed and serviceable.

No sleeve, cross-bolt, nut, or other mounting hardware is included with the S39S. PRO-Link supplies those components with the complete 39SS assembly. Before ordering this replacement tine, confirm the existing collar, hole location, bolt size, mounting depth, and frame condition rather than relying on spear diameter alone.

Fluted 39 Inch Cross-Bolt Replacement Hay Spear

The S39S has fluted sides that reduce the amount of bale material contacting the full shaft. This profile helps the point enter compacted hay progressively and can make withdrawal easier when unloading, placing, or opening a bale for feeding. Install the fluted sides parallel to the ground so the working profile is oriented as intended.

Its 39 inch length provides more bale engagement than a compact 33 inch spear while preserving additional maneuvering clearance compared with longer models. This balance can be useful around feeders, barns, trailers, and storage areas. The tine may handle suitable round hay bales, square bales, straw, alfalfa, haylage, silage, and cornstalk bales when the complete attachment is designed for the material.

Bale dimensions do not establish safe compatibility by themselves. Moisture, density, shape, weight, penetration depth, spear location, and center of gravity affect stability. A large square bale or unstable round bale may require multiple primary spears or stabilizer tines in a properly engineered arrangement. Keep loads low during travel and avoid abrupt turns, starts, or stops.

The S39S may be installed in compatible bale frames carried by tractor loaders, skid steers, three-point equipment, or telehandlers. It does not connect directly to every machine or fit every 1.625 inch collar. Compatibility comes from the complete sleeve, hardware, frame, coupler, clearances, and equipment ratings.

Matching the Existing Collar and Cross-Bolt Hardware

The verified PRO-Link mount is the 155 cross-bolt hay fork collar. Another sleeve may be suitable only when it accepts the same straight mounting section and provides the correct inside dimensions, insertion depth, cross-hole location, bolt size, support, and clearance. Never install the S39S in a tapered collar or retain it with a conical nut.

Before installation, inspect the existing sleeve, surrounding welds, frame steel, bolt, and nut. Do not reuse a collar with cracks, distortion, heavy corrosion, enlarged holes, excessive internal wear, or movement in the frame. PRO-Link’s bale spear sleeve and collar guide provides additional cross-bolt fit, installation, and inspection information.

Clean the mounting section and sleeve, then slide the spear into the collar until the holes align naturally. Install the correctly matched cross-bolt through both parts and secure it with the proper nut. Do not force the bolt through misaligned openings or enlarge the holes to make incompatible parts fit.

Choose the complete 39SS cross-bolt hay spear assembly when the repair also requires a new 155 collar, bolt, and nut. The S39S is the correct configuration when those components are already present and serviceable. An exact S39S replacement is also listed by PRO-Link dealer D&D Farm Supply.

The published capacity applies to the individual tine at the stated load center. The attachment remains limited by its lowest-rated component. Inspect the spear, sleeve, hardware, frame, welds, and coupler regularly. The S39S is covered by PRO-Link’s one-year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects.
