Accumulator Grapple Efficiency

You folks with accumulator grapple set-ups, I struggle to understand how much time they add to baling. For example, you have a 10 bale accumulator and grapple (mounted to a tractor front end loader vs skid steer). I know some of you are baling many thousands of bales with a 10 or 15 bale accumulator.

I've just assumed that to bale after the day job in the evening, there just wouldn't be enough time to get up the bales after baling and maybe the accumulator/grapple setup is not a good system for the time challenged where if you have the space, a bale basket or kicker wagons could get the hay off the field as you bale it.

If you've got (as an example) 300 bales on the ground, how quickly can you get those onto wagons? How much more time to unload? Is a tie wrap type grapple essential? Are they reliable?

When I get to a one man army - me, how does an accumulator grapple set up fit for baling after the day job?

Thanks,
Bill
