once to three times to stack in barn (mow size/elevator)
once to throw down from mow
once to break open to feed

Round
once picked up in field to put on wagon
once off loaded in yard into barn or stack
once picked from barn/stack and put in feeder
So, you have 3 times that one bale is handled by TRACTOR
