Already done..
There were only about 400 of em.
And yes, pick em up, get wheels under em, and worry about where they go after.
Best time to unload is 6:00 AM
that sucks by hand. i bought a older new holland stackliner that picks them up and stacks them on its own. it has been a life saver. mine only carries 56 bales to a stack but it also does single bale unload also. i think mine is a new holland 1012. then once stacked i can use an 8 bale grapple to move them at that point to load onto a truck.

I always enjoy throwing 300-400 bales a summer.

My days of throwing 2k bales a summer are long gone, as are the days of rounding up & having the best crew of bale throwers.

Most around here have gone to large rounds.

Last “crew” ( 3 high schoolers) I saw unloading about 80 bales, had on shorts & were trying their best to try & keep from scratching up their legs & carrying the bales away from their bodies.

I have never been around an accumulator.

Everything here is round, but where I came from, we put up 50,000 squares a year and sold it to the harness racing folks around the Swartz Creek and Saginaw mi zone.. and some Florida guys. Our best day was 4600 bales. Average was 2500-3000 per day. 2 balers, 6 wagons, and as many bodies as I could recruit. 6 minimum but 8 was better.
Always wondered why we didn’t have a bale wagon, but looking back, it couldn’t have kept up with the unloading crew.

We would not have been friends back then ;)

Belle of Georgia. I can eat a dozen of these straight from the tree. Need to get a few more trees to replace some that have died from the weather. Can't wait to retire so I have the time to work at home. This never knowing when I will get done is for the birds.

Those look amazing. The best I ever had were straight from the tree; they were at my wife's uncle's house in Southern CA
