I net wrap all of my hay. I set the bales to be fed on end and slice the wrap and remove it from all the bales at once. Makes a little more work but well worth it in saved hay and baling time unless there is a ice storm than thats another story. I make 5X6 bales that weigh 1200 to 1500+. They unroll very easy but you have to go reverse the way they were baled or back the tractor to unroll. The unroller I'am using was sold by Deere in the 90's for a short time. I bought it on a auction sale a few years ago. With the arms being upswept it will only unroll the bales down to 2 foot or so. There is always a hill here so I always dump them on a hill and the cows finish unrolling the core.
Here's a little better picture of it on my old maxxum.
I also have this old unroller dad had built in the mid 70's. I use it on the old 706 in the spring when the other tractor is planting or as a backup in case the green ones computer throws a fit. It is built like a tank but has been rewelded many times. I like it in the spring tho as it will roll the bales out to just the very center core. Much better on soft ground. I know Worksaver makes a unroller yet but they are built to light for my heavy bales but would work fine for lighter or smaller bales. I have and my dad before me have always fed hay by unrolling it. On frozen ground I feed about 10 bales every other day, always in a new area so the cows spread their own manure. When it gets soft in the spring I feed every day on the north still frozen slopes, when they thaw the south slopes are usually firm by then.
