We do it, but only because we have heavy ground and hay season was too wet too often to get enough of our own off this past summer. We ended up buying some 5' rounds of first cutting mixed grasses from a guy who farms on gravel a couple hills over, but we don't have equipment to stack them or a good place to store them. They get peeled/unrolled by hand, baled with an IH 46 (usually powered by our SA), then put up in the mow. Works best with 3 people - one unrolling, one feeding the baler, and one clearing the output end. It's a lot of work, and makes for a goodly bunch of chaff (that goes to the pigs). The bales themselves seem to turn out ok.
If you have far more time and round bales than you know what to do with, if there is a better market for small squares than big rounds, and you aren't looking to make much money for the time, effort and fuel invested, go for it. Then use (or go buy) a square baler for next year to save more than a few steps.
