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
