Hey cnt! I bought an IH "H" a couple years ago with a Farmhand on it. The H is a 48 model so I suppose the loader is that age. Mine has more cross bracing {factory made} across the top. I looked at the different attachments and mine had the forage one on it. I took it off the tractor cause for working trees it was in th way. Came with a pto pump on the back. I'd like to sell it sometime if not it will eventually wind up in scrap metal pile. Len
 
we had a john deere 52hay stacker on a 2010 they did away with the leveling cables that farmhand used and use a float vale on basket== bucket cly i well have see if i can find a pic

Len, I have had several different generation style Farmhand loaders, the last were built the best in my opinion but all of them did a great job and saved a LOT of labor cnt
 
Bro,
Shame on you sneeking over here and posting pics of off colored tractors. He He.
Here in the NE in the old days loose hay was picked up with a hayloader onto a wagon and transported to the cow barn on a wagon and lifted with a hay grapple suspended from a track in the roof of the barn and mowed away. In the late fall and winter, some custom balers like my dad and gramp would move to a farm with a stationary baler and tractor and bale the hay in the barns, so that there would be room for the spring crop. Dad and Gramps were custom balers back then when the Case dealership was founded.

Neighbor had one on a small Case with Dual front.(Not Wide front) The outside arm kept the tractor from tipping over several times. Friend also had one on a IHC H, and my Grandda had one on a IHC M. Stack a lot of hay with it. Grandpa push small stacks on to the overshoot stacker and I would pull it up with a team of horses. Wished I had photos, but don't
 
My uncle bought one and put on an A John Deere about 1950. then very quickly bought a used old style Oliver 88 standard to put the loader on. live Power made that a super loader tractor. But it still needed power steering.It was our only loader till 1973 but was standby until just a few years ago.I still have loader and tractor just not together.Paul
 
Can we get in contact via email? I'd like to know what you want for it to sell. Also where in ND are you located? I grew up in Towner County.
 
I have one with a bucket on the front and my framework looks just like that picture. It is mounted on an Oliver 88 1949.
Never have tried to use it.
Have been wanting to sell all- Tractor and Farmhand - and would separate.

/auctioneer had one on a M farmall for years as a "machinery loader".Seems that it would lift ANYTHING.Used till they went out of business in the mid-late '80s.
 

When using that baler in the hay mow....wasn't that kind of risky with a hot motor and a gas tank in that enclosed area?

I got a tall back F10 with all the attachments except the V-plow. It has been killing the grass underneath it for close to 20 years now.
 
Thanks again for the pictures, brings back a lot of memeories of my grandpas 60 john deere making haystacks.
 
If it has the over top cross bracing, those were the early ones and I think were called F-8's, but not positive.
 
When I was a kid, some friends of mine put up hay with a similar loader setup. I always thought it was a homemade loader, but seeing your photos, it probably was a Farmhand.

The loader was on a Massy-Harris that was pretty old, but very powerful, using a Continental flathead 6. Doing hay, first they would rake the loose hay into piles with a buck rake, and then they would pick up the piles with the loader"s long tines. At their barn, they had a hay chopper/blower hooked to another Massy-Harris by PTO. The only handling of the hay was a bit of pitchfork work to get it off the loader tines and onto the conveyor that took it to the chopper. My buddie"s Dad said he liked doing hay that way because there was very little waste, and it was a lot easier than bucking bales. And with the setup they had, it was pretty fast and lots cheaper than dealing with a baler.

The only real bad downside of having chopped hay was that it was EXTREMELY dusty, both while it was being chopped and blown into the barn, and also whenever you disturbed the hay in the barn to feed it. But the cows thought it was great and ate every bit of it.

Thanks for helping me remember an interesting way to do hay 50 years ago.
 
I operated one of these when I was a kid. Dad had it mounted on and Allis Chalmers WD. We later replaced it with the narrower F-11. Thanks for posting these.
