Teresa, I doubt that the square bale loader will bring much as it has a number of things against it.
Square bales are simply not used a great deal in many areas so demand is much lower than it used to be.
It appears that this loader does not have a driven chain to pull the bales up the conveyor, but instead relies on one bale pushing against the next one to force it along. At least I don't see any chain mechanism although there does appear to be a sprocket on the axle.
The driven chain units are either ground driven or drive by a small gas engine. I prefer the latter but have hauled bales from both kinds.
For those that might not know--the axle/wheel end is where the bales enter. The guides help to align the bale with the ramp. The end nearest the camera attaches to a truck bed or wagon and the guide turns the bale to move it onto the small platform where it awaits being picked up by a bale worker, are is pushed on off by the next bale.
Though photos can be deceiving, this unit is sure different than any I've seen before. To me it appears to have a very sharp rise angle to it.
Don't have a clue to value since it isn't chain driven. Sorry.
