What’s the best type of round bale handler for wrapped silage bales?

IMO, a soft hands grab, assuming you are wanting to preserve the integrity of the wrap....;-)

I have cheap and nasty Chinese unit, must be 7-8+ years old now, and done a lot of work. Paint falling off as stored outside, Grease the pivots as often as possible as no bushes worth the name. I grease the piston at the end of each summer as a protection.
I have a 3point Fleming fixed cradle on a compact tractor to haul to the headlands and stack on end. Works well enough.

Think it largely depends on how you stack them, on their rounds or on their ends?
