I have experience with both. The top one is a Graves bale loader. My dad bought a new one in 1972. It worked good. You could pull the bale off anywhere along the incline or let it go to the top. Used it for 3 years without any problems. They were light, we always chained it to a fence post or something heavy, when not in use. A storm came up one afternoon and pushed it across the field. Fortunately it did not blow over.
The bottom photo is a Kent Mat-Truc, built in Tipton, KS. The farmer I worked for, bought one new in 1975. The first year we put in 60,000+ bales. Probably over half was custom work for other farmers. They were a highly productive machine. This was in east central Kansas. A lot of hay had to travel more miles than was practical with old junky wagons. Kickers were very rare in the region. They were much more efficient than a truck and bale loader and night and day different than stacking on a wagon behind the baler. Ron

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
