Most crews will appreciate it greatly if you can reduce the walking to pick up. If you can find, or build, a drag type bale buncher (some do call these bale baskets as well and there are videos on line of using them by that name) it is a step up from dropping bales all over the field and reduces pick up time. Having 8 to 12 in a pile to pick up is easier than chasing one at a time. And you control where you trip the buncher so you can line the piles up across a field if you want. Those won't push a light tractor like a wagon or Bale Basket wagon can on a hill. We used one for a time, it does make things better for a crew. Moved up to wagons and now use a EZ-trail Bale Basket.
We also built a drag to pull behind the baler (rolled up steel head with 2x6 x16s for runners with a narrow (wide enough for a crowbar, too narrow for a foot to go into) open slot down the center to drive a crowbar into the ground to slide the bales off the runners)and used that for a couple seasons before getting a buncher. Someone had to ride the drag and pile the bales, 10 to 12 usually but could be more, then drive the bar in at the slot at the front held the bar and the pile slid off the free ends of the runners as the baler moved along. Likely not the best idea in this day and age, but it worked.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. 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
