Hay Hooks

Where can you find good hay hooks these days. The red ones from tractor supply are terrible. I have been tempted to just make some but I dont have time.
 
Many people, myself included, use pulp hooks--they're heavier and should last longer. Baily's is one of many logging suppliers, and the one shown probably isn't exactly what you want as it's got a replaceable tip, but you'll get the general idea. Mine are heirloom ones that have sat on the tighteners of our balers for 40+ years, but there's lots more out there both used and new.

Only remnants I have of our dairy farm (circa 1952 to 1961) are a pair of hay hooks, the milking stool, and dad's branding iron (actually not used since the '40's). I'm gonna hang the branding iron over the hearth, and hang the hooks from it.

Or maybe I'll just sell all that junk on Craig's List.
 
If you have one for a example, talk to local high school industrial arts teacher and have some made as class project
 
Here are the ones we have from tractor supply http://www.external_link/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_34263_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1
We also have one of the extra long ones. Its easier to use, but is still hard to get it hooked and unhooked. We have a good one, but I need to remember to take a pic of it.
 
We used to have them laying around. Only folks who used them were friends from the city who would come out to help occasionally. We picked the bales up by the strings or wires. That was before the smallish kicker bales. Most wore gloves. Some didn't. Big dairy farm. Helped neighbors. Baled about 50,000 bales a year.
 
To me it seems much easier to hand hay up onto the hay stack with a hook, than trying to push it straight up on end. Gloves are a must.
