A method for unloading a first and a second bale from a round baler onto a field. The round baler includes a bale chamber and a bale holder. The method successively includes steps of: growing the second bale in the bale chamber, while the first bale is carried by the bale holder； unloading the first bale from the bale holder onto the field a period of time before finishing growing the second bale, the first bale defining a first position on the field； finishing growing the second bale； transporting the second bale to the bale holder； and unloading the second bale onto the field. The second bale defines a second position on the field. The period of time is determined such that a distance between the first position and the second position is smaller than a sum of the diameters of the first bale and second bale.
