I have 6 of them now and like them a lot. Negatives? You can't cheat the moisture levels, if the hay is too wet to bale the bales get heavy in a hurry, you can't make little puffballs to fool yourself.
Turning really tight when picking up hay is a big no-no.
I use them in fields down to about 1/2 acre but really 2 acres and up lets you go much faster.
They only hold about 110 bales max and sometimes require a trip up there to squeeze the last 10 bales on.
Pluses: With dolly wheel pinned up they tow behind a pickup at 30 mph loaded or 40-50 mph empty.
Pull the lever and leave at customers place
Very few broken bales compared even to hand handling
More consistent bale weights
I now have a pin grabber type hitch like the old sileage wagon hitches and am looking forward to using it this summer.
I wish they had a model that held 250 bales though so I could move less wagon loads. We still use flatbed trailers and double hitched wagons to move 250-500 bale loads.
