Most of the designs i se are 'semi' self loading.. I.E. you back up tot he bale.. engage trailer brakes, the trailer lid flips over the bale.. you lock it in place, disengage brakes, and drive off.. etc.. Some use a spear and winch.. etc.

Another option for bale moving is a two wheeled trailer apparatus with a hydraulic cylinder operated bale stabber on the back. You hitch it to your tractor, hook up the hydraulics to your rear remote. Now the trailer carries the bale and all the tractor does is pull it. Several farmers in my area use these when they don't want to carry the bale in the back of their truck or on their tractor. I hate to see someone trade tractors just to move a few bales of hay a year.
