HAYSTIX® S436TXJ Tapered Bale Spear – 43″ x 1.375″

The HAYSTIX® S436TXJ tapered bale spear is engineered for agricultural operators who need smooth bale penetration, controlled unloading performance, and dependable handling stability in demanding hay operations. Built with a 1.375-inch tapered spear profile and an extended 43-inch length, the S436TXJ is designed for applications where cleaner bale release and deeper bale engagement are important.

Its tapered Conus I spear geometry helps reduce resistance during insertion and removal, making it especially effective for large square bales, dense hay, wet feed material, and grouped spear systems requiring smoother unloading characteristics. The longer spear length also improves bale engagement depth, helping reduce bale shifting during transport and stacking operations.

The S436TXJ is a spear-only configuration and does not include a bale spear sleeve or collar assembly. This makes it ideal for replacement applications or custom fabricated agricultural equipment already utilizing compatible hay spear sleeves or collars.

Rated at 1,700 pounds at a 30-inch load center, the S436TXJ is commonly used on skid steers, tractor loaders, telehandlers, AG-GO bale spear carriers, and custom hay handling attachments.

Tapered Spear Design for Cleaner Bale Release

The tapered profile of the S436TXJ is engineered to improve penetration efficiency while reducing drag during spear removal from tightly compacted hay bales.

This design performs especially well when handling:

• Large square bales
• Dense alfalfa hay
• Straw bales
• Silage
• Wet hay
• Frozen feed bales
• Net-wrapped bales
• High-compression livestock feed

The reduced-contact tapered geometry helps minimize hay pullback and bale sticking during unloading operations. This can improve feeding efficiency while helping preserve bale structure during repetitive daily use.

Its longer 43-inch length also helps improve:

• Bale engagement depth
• Load stability during transport
• Stacking control
• Reduced bale shifting
• Better support in grouped spear systems

Compared to shorter hay tines, the S436TXJ provides deeper penetration into oversized round bales and dense square bales where stable handling performance is important.

The square tapered shank design also supports omni-directional mounting flexibility while helping resist rotational movement during lifting and transport operations.
