When I was a kid we used horses cause we didn"t own a trtactor. That came later. Would rake with a trip rake into rows then go along the rows and rake into piles. Then drive the wagon beside the piles and put the hay on the wagon by hand with pitchforks. We used the sling system to unload the hay into the haymow or hayloft. Then had to spread the hay by hand and always had to spread rocksalt so hay wouldn"t catch fire. If hay was least bit damp it would heat up real fast and possibly catch fire.-Bill
