Heavy-Duty Straight Bale Spears — 4 Profiles, Custom Lengths, OEM Available

STRAIGHT FORGED TINE

Straight forged tines are the standard workhorse for bale spearing applications on front-end loaders, telehandlers, and tractor-mounted bale forks. Our straight tines are forged from spring steel, heat-treated for a balance of hardness and fatigue resistance, and finished with an environmentally friendly protective coating. Available in four cross-section profiles — Square, Round, Double-T, and Star — the straight tine is compatible with virtually every bale handling system on the market. Spring steel is the material of choice for agricultural tines because it combines high tensile strength with the elasticity needed to absorb repeated impact loads without permanent deformation. Our forging process compresses the grain structure of the steel, creating a denser, more fatigue-resistant component than machined or cast alternatives. Each tine is heat-treated to a controlled hardness range, then inspected against dimensional tolerances before coating. Profile selection depends on the bale spear receiver tube on your loader or telehandler. Square and Double-T profiles are common on European loader systems; Round profiles are widely used on North American equipment; Star profiles provide additional torsional rigidity for heavy-duty applications. If you are unsure which profile matches your machine, send us the receiver tube dimensions and we will recommend the correct specification.
