    Its a lot less work to just grab a couple bales by the wires and carry them to the truck then buck them up to the stacker who probably will have a hay hook

    Even easier to drag a wagon around behind the bailer. Two loaders with hooks to stack them.

    Might be fine for a field that was only going to produce a wagon full of bales. the bailing time lost while exchanging wagons could have baled another 40 bales.
    Stacking fresh baled bales is not always a real good idea either seen lots of haystacks and barns burned from stacking fresh bales too close together.
    There was a guy a few years back, leased a 200-acre irrigated field, from one of the local ranchers, not sure where he was from, but it was evident, he didn't know a lot about hay. He did grow a bumper crop though. brought in one of those cutter baler combo machines then put then through a wrapping machine almost as soon as the round bales hit the ground, in spite of everyone warning him, he should cut, row then turn the rows a couple days before baling and then leave the bales in the filed a few days before wrapping. Many of the bales spontaneously combusted the rest developed mold.
    Those fancy one stop shop do everything machines are grand in some areas and under certain conditions, but certain grass or grain stalk hay you have to know how to smell the hay, to read it. He didn't try again the following year. Farmers around here call the gentlemen farmers, classed the same as city hunters. Great to take their money but not expect to see them again.
