I don"t have a picture to post but will try to come up with one for another post but growing up on a farm in Iowa, like most in those days we had hogs, cattle and we all had work to do on the farm. I remember well putting up loose hay stacks out in the field for the milk cows. Instead of a hay loader we had a "Jayhawk Stacker" (made in Kansas I believe.) Our John Deere A had a bracket that bolted on near the front of the frame with a round pivot out in front that the stacker fastened to. The stacker had a long frame with two wheels about 12 foot apart nearly the same distance forward of the mounting arrangement on the tractor. It was kind of like an overgrown front end loader with long wooden tines and a backstop to keep the hay from coming over the rear. As it would be getting close to full two or three of us boys would get on the hay just before it started being raised to put on the hay stack. when dumped on the pile we would "walk it in" to keep the stack from blowing apart when the wind blew. This was repeated many times until the stack had grown to a size that was as high as the stacker could raise. Then we would slide down the side of the stack and start on the next hay stack. Oh to return to those days of well over 50 years ago.
