    You all are missing it completely...
    Most tech equipment needed is that thing that will go out to the field, roam around, gather any size/shape, weight bale. Deposit it on a conveyance and it convey itself to the barn, Then unload itself into the loft, placing this cutting behind the leftover bales. All without raising that neck itching dust and chaff.
    True confession...
    I went into truck driving due to seeing the old Hi Way Express rigs; tooling up US 45 above West Point, MS as I rode a dust cloud concealing me, a Farmall M, and its IH 52T self tying hay baler. or the equivalent IH combine threshing soybeans.

    Spent a few summers pulling them out of the baler and stacking them on the wagon.

    This GPS ...
    Nothing like cutting off 100 feet of electric fence wire (that smooth stuff), bending a loop in each end for a piece of baler twine looped in to manage it.
    Me walk the fence line, (or other Daddy directed guide) dragging my end. Daddy stop me, mark the little book, me walk again etc, etc ,till we measured all around the field or desired area. Then to the shade tree and the water jug and Daddy do the math. Strange, since he only went to the 3rd reader they said.
    More strange. His computations resembled long division as we know it, but the divisor sign was upside down, quotient came out underneath, works were above. Even much more strange.. It was said he or his twin brother could walk thru a "copse of woods", and come out the other side and tell you how much lumber you could probably cut out of it. No measuring or calcs, just walking and looking. And be amazingly close to what they stacked at the mill after cutting.

    And the absence of onions. Guess that sterile fly swatter kind of counts for something...

    Those are examples of good ol' fashion common sense.

    This country was built by folks who had little more than common sense... It will be destroyed by the highly educated.
