I think Ray may be right. A hay loader would have two large diameter narrow wheels in front and a pair of iron smaller caster wheels in the back. If the implement was tilted forward, as many were when not used, the little wheels were up off the ground. The "front" part of the "wagon" really would be the let-down chute, adjustable to let hay down into an empty wagon, but could be ajusted up, parallel to the main "wagon", forcing hay to be elevated to the top of a full load. It was fun helping pack hay tromping around up to your waist in the sweet smelling stuff on a sunny day, balancing yourself with the aid of a three tine pitchfork.

could also be what they used to call a buck rake .it would pick up the hay from the windrow ,and when full you would take it to the barn and dump it.

Gentlemen we have a terminology problem! More than one piece of equipment are/were called Buck rakes! East of the Missouri river a buck rake (more properly called a Dump Rake) was a two wheeled 9' wide rake that was used to move mowed hay into windrows for baling or loading into a wagon with a hay loader. The implement would only hold 50-100# of hay so wouldn't work for hauling hay to the barn. Further west hay gathers were called buck rakes and I'll let someone else describe them. Dick

I don't think that part of a Buck Rake taking the hay all the way to the barn is just right.

In our area buck rakes were used to haul the hay up to several miles from the field to the barn where the hay was either lifted to the mow with a hay fork or blowen in with a blower taken of an old threashing machine. a few buckrakes were tractor mounted but most were made using and old car, usualy a Model A Ford but othere were used as well, ours was a 1929 Buick and dad walk a full load out of the field in high gear as the Fords usualy had to do it in low gear. also use it to haul machinery on the fork and fodder shoks to the barn to shread. They were never used to haul to stacks in field as stalking was not done.

Buck rakes usually delivered the hay to a stationary stack builder located somewhere in or near the field being harvested.

Could it be an old hay loader? These were pulled behind a haywaggon, and over the windrow - they picked up the hay and lifted it onto the waggon where a couple of guys with forks distributed the hay over the waggon. A most unfun job. Could you post a couple pictures?
