Anyboby remmeber the old jayhawk stackers. They were made out of angle iron and had two wheels under them they mounted on the very front of the tractor kinda like a ball hitch and you would steer them much like a hay sweep. They operated mechnally by pulling a rope to make them go up and down they would put a large stack of hay in a short time. I was very young when i ran the one my Dad had we used it in front of an 8n ford. Maybe someone else has used them and can explain it better. These old sackers had a sweep very much like the farmhand loaders wood teeth and all. Oh yea they would put you up high also.

We had one of these when I was home on the farm in western Kansas also. Ours had the ratchet wheel hubs but it had been moderized with a hydralic cylinder. I still have the cylinder and the frame that carried it. The angle iron for the rest of it is laying in the weeds at the old home. Don't know what happened to the hay head.

We used it on the front of a Farmall M and it was a great teaching tool for backing trailers and figureing out when to start lifting when coming into the stack so it was high enough when you got there without having to stop. To get it to raise high we had a 3 or 4 gallon oil reservoir that plumbed into the pump on the tractor. An interesting piece of equipment.

I remember riding with dad when he used ours. I think he stopped using it when he bought a different tractor that it didn't fit onto--at least not readily.

There was a thread on these stackers just a short while back. It might have been on the implement forum. A search might yield that thread.

The inventor was from Hoxie, Kansas and the stackers were made in Salina, KS as I recall from research back with the other thread.

They were indeed made in Salina. I still have most of one on my farm near there. I have the manuals if anyone is interested. They were quite a machine in their day. Not the best for alfalfa; too much leaf loss. Most of them are gone, the angle iron is too hard to resist.
