I'm trying to figure this picture posting thing out. Just posted four pics over on the "tractor photos" gallery of us haying in the late '70's/early '80's.

Great pictures! Makes me miss the good old days, and the Sandhills. I grew up east of Purdum, and last I knew there were still 2 slide stackers being used up that way.

We stacked hay untill about the mid 80,s We didnt use a cage. We had an overshot stacker and pulled it up with a tractor hitched to a cable. That operation took 3 of us. Sis drove the stacker tractor,Dad stacked the hay and I got to run the hay sweep.

Later we had an F10 Farmhand with hay sweep head on it. Most of the time we never put anyone in the stack.

Thanks Rusty- giving it a try here.... Usually when we had a "full crew" going there was 6 of us. Two mowers, one rake, two sweeps, and one guy on the stacker. One sweep would go ahead to where the next stack was going to be and "bunch" the hay, in other words sweep up the windrows and leave the bunches all in one central area close to where the stack was gonna be. Then, when that stack started, the other sweeper could keep pushing loads on the stacker as fast as the stacker could pull them up. We hayed one year right accross the fence to a neighbor using one of those Heston "bread loaf" stackers, and we could put up two to his one.

You're right Dave, the proper term is "slide stacker". But, beings it was the only stacker we had, and we never had to worry about getting it mixed up with any other type of stacker, we just called it "the stacker". :) What part of the sandhills did you and your dad put up hay in? We're north of Thedford, in the Brownlee area. Our place is right along the highway, and when we'd stack the meadows by the highway, the cars used to stop and watch by the dozens....nobody ever seems to stop to watch the round baler run these days, but I suppose part of that is everyone being in such a hurry anymore too.

OK- think I'm getting the hang of this now! Here's the rake I ran from the summer I was 10yrs old until I "graduated" to running the stacker when I was 14. Put a kid on one of those things wheeling it around all summer long and he'll dang sure learn how to drive!

Hi- The rake was 46ft I believe. You could cover alot of ground quick with it! Our main mowers then were two trail mowers with double 7ft bars, one pulled by a Super M and one pulled by a Super H. Also if there was an extra person available to mow we ran the Super A with one 7ft bar.

Loren, Sorry I don't really have any better pics of the rake. We still have a smaller(36foot) version here on the place and I could maybe get a shot of it sometime. They were common as bellybuttons around here, they're dump rakes made by Rowse MFG in Burwell NE. Same deal as any dump rake.

Found the Rowse website- www.rowserakes.com. Here's a closeup pic of one of their rakes. Also, I noticed that their largest rake is 42ft, not 46 like I said...
