MF 1840 and Picking up Bales

Hi all - Decided to get a little more serious with my hobby addiction this year, and bought a gently used MF 1840. This was a bit more baler than originally planned and leaves not a lot in the budget this year for an accumulator system. Have a skid loader already and leaning towards just dropping and picking with 10 bale skid mounted Accumagrapple. There are a couple bale baskets that might be available locally, but I don’t like the idea of having to restack by hand. Advise from your experience is appreciated.
