Both jobs look dirty if the wind isn't
right, but it sure beats a pitch fork.
right, but it sure beats a pitch fork.
I built a lot of stacks like that with Dad. He wouldn't let me on the stack
because I didn't make them right. He could make the straightest, squarest hay sacks
and never get off to look at them. We used a Deere G with a Farmhand just like that.
You learned to be ambidextrous with a hand clutch on one side and loader controls
on the other.
We mowed with a seven ft. #5 Deere mower, pulling a dump rake. The trick was to
buck hay, get it to the stack so Dad didn't have to wait on me. I'd put up a big basket
full, then rush of to get the far away windrows.
Our hay basket had oak sweep teeth. We never had steel teeth...too expensive, I guess.
And yes, I broke a few teeth. Usually by running them in the ground.
Yes, it was hot and sticky!! And this was all dryland prairie hay.
Some years we had to go a long way to get lot of hay.
We always did the draws and coolies first because that's where the best hay grew.

Counting the bars in the grill it looks like a B. Looking at the front frame it looks like an A.
