How many bales total? We are doing about 10,000 squares a year. Our first dance with a round baler was only a 40x40" or something like that hesston. Major pain in the butt, only about 8 square bales per bale, all our wagons would only hold a fraction of what they hold with squares.
Went back to squares, quite happy with a bale basket now, near the barn we just pop over and dump at the conveyor. Far away we dump at the wagons and restack on the wagons. Our best day this year was 1600 bales in about 4-5 hours baling, the wagons were ready to roll about 1 hour after that with 2 boys hired to load.
We used to tow wagons with the baler but you just can't get the bales per hour up in our rough fields. Still do it when not in a rush.
Also added a 4x5 round baler back into the mix this year, much better than the puny baler before but still not perfect. Not bad with a tractor at each end and truck running the flatbed but takes preparation. Filling barns with small access doors takes forever compared to cleaning up the field.
