Allan, now you went and did it. I'm just gonna hafta tell ya.
In the early 40's we had a F-12 Farmall. We pulled a flat bed trailer to the hay field and loaded it by hand with pitch forks. I was around five then so my job was to stomp the hay down on top of the wagon. We then hauled it to the barn, backed it in and hooked the F-12 to a rope which was connected to a block and tackle pulley device. One end of the rope was connected to a single pointed harpon device which was inserted as far as possible into the middle of the hay on the wagon. Attached to the harpon was a handle which extended a barb into the hay at the bottom of the harpon. A rope was attached to the barb handle. When all was set the F-12 pulled the rope through the pulley device. The harpon went up and sideways above the 'hay mow' where at the right moment the barb was tripped and the hay fell into the hay mow.
My job was to tromp down the hay in the hay mow. Since I was just five I didn't always get out of the way when the hay fell. All came to a stop until they dug me out.
On this forum I have not heard the term 'hay mow' or heard described the harpon device that we used. Maybe I didn't recognize the name but would be interested in hearing about the device. Maybe the term 'hay mow' is a Dutch term.
Sorry about the long post but it's Allan fault. He went and posted that picture.
