Never saw anything like you're talking about, but at least a hay bale has string or wire 'handles' to help pick it up. Sacks dont!
This was back in the 50's.The combine was yellow as I recall and was driven by the International H tractor PTO.There wasn't many combines around and we did some custom work for neighbors.After picking up the sacks ,we hauled them into the barn an dumped them into big wooden bin, then went out and filled more sacks. We had our own small hammer mill that was driven by belt off the tractor fly wheel. In later years a truck came out from the feed store and ground/mixed the feed along with molasses We only grew oats and a little barley for dairy cow grain that was ground and mixed with corn. The baler might have been an International too. Can't remember if it was gas driven or PTO.I think PTO because we only ever bought gas for the tractor
