I also put up square bales. I use a baler with a thrower and have 4 decent kicker racks and one so so rack for backup. Baling on the ground is the least efficient way to go. Whether you pick up bales by hand ( most labor as you know) or use a NH stack wagon you have to make 2 trips over the field to get your hay. I would either buy or build enough flat racks to hold a days worth of baling (and bale with a wagon and a person on the wagon) or do the same with kicker racks and go to a kicker baler. Most of the NH stack wagons are getting pretty old now and in the North east bring good money if they are in good shape. You also need a real high clearance building to tip them to unload.Same thing with newer accumulator and grapple set ups , you need 1 or ideally 2 good sized loader tractors or skid steers to pickup and unload and stack the hay. One other option is the old ground driven bale loader that would elevate the bales up to a flat rack - still needs stackers and still 2 trips with the additional time and fuel.
