Here's a picture from our ranch in about 1980 of the one we used. Used it up until about '84 or so, then we went to big round bales.
The head of the stacker is pulled up by a hydraulic winch...before that either horses or a tractor was used to pull the stacker head up.
That's a 656IH with the "stacker tower" on it- a man would sit up there and use a hydra-fork to move the hay around to build a strong level stack, with a domed top to shed water. Stacks weighed around 6 tons.
A 340 IH is reveresed for a hay sweep to push the hay onto the stacker head. We also had some sweeps that were built on pickup chassis- those would really fly but tended to overheat pretty easily and could get stuck on the wet meadows.
The stacker in the picture fell victim to my dad smashing it with a loader a few years back, but I still have a complete one stored on a place we bought from an uncle.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
