In this country a Go Devil was a sled with wheels in the back. Typically it was a hay rack. It was built so the rack nearly balanced on an axle with wheels. On the front was runners mounted on a turntable like a wagon axle. They were originally built to be pulled by a team. When the team pulled nearly all the weight would transfer to the wheeled axle and it would pull easy, loaded or empty. Going down hill weight would shift to the runners on the front and it would not run away going down hill. The one I recall seeing was used with a tractor for picking up shocked loose hay from a hilly hayfield. The go devil would transport the hay to the barn where it was unloaded with a harpoon and carried into the hay mow.
