Most buckrakes that were either put on an old truck,car, or tractor was just tilted back to raise and lower the front of the tines to hold the hay on while transporting. This was done usually by a hand operated winch, as probally none of these vehicles had hydraulics. The frame was usually made of steel. The tines were made of hardwood. They were made about 8 or 10 feet long and about 3in. by 3in. square. Most were made to back up when loading, for more traction while transporting.Each tine had a metal point on it to prevent wear. I have a machine called a "HAYCLONE" MADE IN Columbianna, Ohio by The Wonstetler Co. This machine was a blower type,unlike a corn silage blower, that actually blew the dry hay, brought in by a buckrake up into the mow without chopping it. There were no knives in this blower. I can't find any info. on this machine. Sorry I wrote so much, but actually used an old buckrake, and it was a real step forward from pitching it on a wagon by hand.
