PQ SeriesBale Carrier (PQ)
A 23’-long round bale hauler with a low-profile and 180-degree turning.
Durability and versatility. Those might be the two most important qualities for any piece of farm equipment. The PQ series round bale hauler checks both boxes. Formerly manufactured by the Pequea Machine® company, the PQ series was acquired by Farmco to add a low-profile bale hauler to our hay transport equipment portfolio. However, we’ve retained all the core features of this classic design.
On the durability front, the PQ series is a beast. A 4”x10” main beam is more than enough to support even the largest loads. The 4”x4” cross members are placed in a “diamond” configuration for maximum strength and to hold bales in place. The entire setup rolls on 15×8 wheels placed on cold-rolled axle spindles.
Besides being a well-built piece of equipment, the PQ series is also our most maneuverable round bale hauler, thanks to a 180-degree turning front dolly. This “tricycle” steering configuration allows for a much tighter turning radius and lets the PQ series bale hauler be moved into more confined spots than some of our other bale carrier models. As an added bonus, the low profile of the PQ series means it can be loaded from a 3-point hitch if the need arises.

Standard Features
Every round bale hauler for sale from Farmco is built with heavy-duty reinforced steel and expert welding. Our round bale haulers are all coated with a two-part polyurethane paint (red comes standard, but several colors are available). We use electrostatic charges as part of the painting process to ensure even coverage across all parts of the bale hauler frame.
In addition, Farmco’s PQ series round bale haulers come standard with:
4”x10” main beam and 4”x4” cross members to support full loads of bales.
A low-profile design for easy accessibility, including with a 3-point hitch.
A 180-degree front turning dolly and an extendable tongue for easy hookup and variable towing lengths.
Cold-rolled axle spindles and greasable hubs on all wheels.
