Here's a pic of our stacker with the sweep pushing a load of hay onto it. The top portion of the "tower" with the hydra-fork on it was the same thing we used to feed with. The top portion, that the guy's sitting in, would unbolt. We had a cable that ran through a pulley chained to a high tree limb. We'd hook one end of the cable to the hydrafork and one end to a pickup and lift the whole works off. Then we'd lower it down onto the front "gooseneck" part of the haysled and bolt it on. We also took the lower part of the tower off the tractor and left it sit by the tree over the winter. Then we'd put the "cab" on the 656 and use it to pull the haysled. The "cab" for the tractor and the "cab" that the hydrafork is on were both made by my dad and consisted of angle iron frames and red-painted plywood bolted to the angle iron. There was a glass windshield that bolted in the front of the tractor cab and the rear of the hydrafork cab. The rest of the windows were a thick clear plastic. In the spring, we'd reverse the whole process and take the cabs apart and put the stacker tower back on the 656. Later on we bought an 886, but grandad didn't want to spend the money on a factory cab for it either, so we got one with just the rollover protective structure on it and dad built a plywood cab around that too. :)

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
