Back when I was a lad, we used to put up hay just like that. When the wagon had wood wheels, the only racks were the uprights on the front and the back. The floor in the center of the wagon was built on the running gear, and on each side of the wagon outside of the bolster stakes the floor was about 6 to 8 inches higher. About 1950 the running gear was replaced with a new Oliver running gear. My father always made the load, and we never lost one til he bought a 1951 Ford 8N. My sister was driving the 8N and a rear wheel on the wagon went in a chuck hole and part of the load slid off. One time when my mother was driving the tractor, up a hill to steep for us kids to drive, the front wheels of the tractor started to come off the ground. So she just shut it off and walked home leaving my father to get the load to the barn. We had to run the tractor in low gear with it just idling in order to be slow enough to keep up with the hay coming up the loader. Never did get a baler, but did have some custom baled.
