We used one of those for yrs. mounted on a Cockshutt 40.Stacked hay by the ton. Brings back good memories of the old days, but kind of glad they are gone too. If I remember correctly the most important thing was to have really solid back mounts.

Gotta love those Farmhands, Allan. That F10 looks a little beefier than mine. What is the lift capacity and reach?

Based on a few of the replies, folks must think we raise these loaders as high as we can get 'em, then go racin' around the barnyard!

Hi Dug,

Yeah, they think we is crazy don't they? :>)

I'm going by my old memory, which has certainly let me down in the past that's for sure, but with the big 10 x 14 hay basket, I think it was 4500 lbs and 27' to the tip of the teeth. Hope that's right anyway.

I know that you just don't use a narrow front end under 'em because they will get to swayin' when they are way up there; we also bolted braces across the back upper corners to keep it steady kinda like so: / \.

T one time, it was very common around here to see haystacks that were far larger than a lot of the barns.

When I was a kid my dad had a Farmhand loader very similiar to this and it was mounted on a SC Case. Used it to stack loose hay and then later we used it for bales.

Put one of my hay bales up there and you would probably lay it over on its side, if you could even pick it up in the first place with out the rear tires comeing up

Trying to see to can take out the most power lines. Exactly what I did with my ford loader on my 4020. Nothing like a little bit of height when you need it but you should have a ground guide when sight is limited by a cab. I didn't.

Hi Kraig,

No power lines on my property, all lines are underground. However, I did find that my brand new barn is a little shorter than I thought. Luckily it was on the back side and only a minor dent.

NO....
They are trying to see who's tractor is more likely to tip over backwards (or lay down on its side) because they have passed the center of gravity.

I watched my Uncle flip a Deere "G" with an even older Farmhand over backwards. He had a hay basket overloaded with loose hay, and engaged the clutch too fast, and over he went, backwards.

Thankfully, he wasn't hurt, but a couple of cast-iron parts on the old Farmhard were busted.

It was quite a scare for me, as a young boy, and I don't expect he appreciated it much, either!

My dad had one of those he used to stack lose hay with. He built about a 10 foot sweep for it. Layed it over on it side a least twice that I remember. No body hurt. Tied a chain on to the back wheel, used another tractor to pull it back up, was back to work in about ten minutes.

Dad always told me to carry the head as low to the ground as you can and don"t start up with it till you are at the stack and on real good footing. I still operate loaders to this day in that fashion. Saw one last spring up in montana with a head with four spears and a grapple handling BIG squares with no problem. He was bringing them out of the field and stacking them four high in a stackyard. I loved the ride down from a tall stack when finishing up. Anybody that laid one of these loaders over had his head stuffed in his socks.

RJ,

Next summer, I'll try to get a picture of the boys putting up hay over here southwest of me. They put up the big squares and stack 'em 6 high.
