Bale sledge

    Has anybody ever seen a bale sledge (for small square bales of hay) that you tow behind a tractor to collect bales. (As opposed to behind the baler during the baling operation) I think I saw one on youtube once, or can the standard sledge be used in this way. Reason I ask is some of my hay fields are quite small and odd shaped, so reversing a baler with a sledge behind it is no fun.

    Type ''bale accumulator'' into you tube and see what you think you would want to be making a lot of small bales to make it pay. I'd make a good few small bales each year and found in the finish the handiest think was to stick the father in the jeep and small trailer follow him around myself and fill it away, labour wasn't as scarse last year but we go very little sun

    Thanks, the ones on the skid steers look very simple and handy. I see a guy towing the standard sledge behind a 4x4 also after the field is baled.
    My main justification would be to save labour
