The throwers were popular here in NY, especially the JD hydraulic ejectors. One man can fill wagons but it still takes people to unload and stack in the barn. Traditionally that was a job we hired high school boys to do in the summer. Alas trying to find boys who will do that work even for $10-15/hr cash is hard any more. As you know due to weather when you need them you need them now not when it is convienient for them. So the move was toward even more mechanization. The ejectors eliminated one lift and stack, the stackwagons eliminated the second. To accomodate the stackwagons the ejectors came off and bales were dropped in the field. Bigger packages (large round or square) are also geared to mechanized hay makeing and feeding.
