In the late 50's, early 60's, we put up loose hay in outdoor stacks using a JD B or 530, a New Idea loader, and a steel stacker head that was about 10' wide, teeth about 8' long, that we picked up hay out of a double raked windrow until it was full. Then it was lifted 3 or 4' off the ground and carried to the stack site. When you started a stack, you stopped the tractor, lowered the stacker to the ground, backed up leaving the hay on the stack site and went after the next load of hay. After stacking the first layer by approaching from all directions to lay out the size of stack you needed, you started on the second and succeeding layers by tripping the stacker head with a rope. The stacker head would pivot at the mounting point and drop enough for the hay to slide off of it as you built up higher layers. The stack had to be topped out here in SW Iowa with tar paper or plastic under the last layer to minimize rainwater damage. Mel
