Product Description
Farm King Square Bale Carrier | Model 4480-XD | Width 13’ 10” | Hydraulic Pressure 3000 Psi | Horsepower 100 HP | For Tractors
DESCRIPTION
If you're hauling hundreds of bales every season, speed and reliability matter. The 4480XD is engineered for performance in the field, reducing manual handling, increasing load capacity, and ensuring bales are stored safely off the ground and out of harm’s way. With its heavy-duty frame, intuitive operator controls, and advanced hydraulic automation, this bale carrier takes the labor out of large-scale hay handling.
Who Is It For?
This model is ideal for commercial hay producers, custom baling operators, and large-acreage ranchers who need to move massive volumes of hay quickly and with precision. Compatible with tractors delivering 25 GPM hydraulic flow at 3000 PSI, the 4480XD integrates easily into modern farm fleets without additional modifications.
What Makes It Different?
From the graphite-coated beams that reduce friction to the quarter-turn stacking feature that protects bale strings and maximizes airflow during storage, every detail on this machine is built for durability and ease. The 4480XD holds up to 24 bales (3'x3'), boasts a max load capacity of 25,000 lbs, and provides automated adjustments to work seamlessly with open-center, closed-center, and load-sensing hydraulic systems.
Whether you're clearing a field or staging for transport, the Farm King 4480XD turns a time-consuming job into a fast, fluid process helping you get more done in less time, with less wear on your equipment and your team.
