Was this a commercially available machine, or did you build it yourself?  Because I could swear I worked on an almost identical rig hauling bales in the 70s.  Come to think of it, the rig I'm thinking of might have been taller, because it unloaded into the second floor or a barn.  Or can you lift and reverse the front conveyor?  That might explain it.  My memory is admittedly a little foggy.

This one was commercial made by Deweze. Official name was Deweze Hay MoBale. There were two other commercial outfits I've heard about. One was Kent. Other can't recall at the moment. Would also guess that for every commercial made rig sold, there may have been 5 to 10 home built. Guys used farm trucks or school buses. Latter usually did not have enough springs to handle the loads.

Front snout that picks up the bales also elevates. Some had a fold over extension that would allow you to shoot bales up into a loft barn window. This one can get to about 12 feet high as is.

Edited: Third commercial rig was United Manufacturing

I have no trouble finding people who want to buy small square hay bales, and will haul and handle themselves. Can't stack worth a hoot, but will at least try. Most are actually women. Had a young lady of around 30 showed up the other day and she left with 15 bales. She was also about 5 months pregnant. Bales went on the truck like they wanted on the truck.

Where trouble lies is finding anybody who wants to pick up out of the field. Have that covered for now and hay monster helps make the job easy. Amish lads will do it, but they live 30 miles away and somebody has to go get them.....and take them home. But if you can work it out, they are best hay crew around.
