We still use forks in one barn, it works best with two people though, one sticking forks and one driving. We usually pull up a half a load and then stack till were done. Forks take four down each side with two down the middle and throw one on top of each end for a total of 12. My Son and I have handled many bales and we both agree we would both rather unload this way than pulling tangled up bales out of a kicker rack and using an elevator. One plus is they can be spread out the length of the barn. Your original question was cost, we installed a new rope in 2014, got it bulk from Fleet Farm, 7/8 sisal rope, it was $.65 a foot. We always coil it up inside and never drive over it with the wagons etc. and get close to twenty years or so.
