Those dump rakes were a dangerous piece of equipment. Notice that there is nothing for the operator to hang onto. If the team ran away, the operator usually fell forward and was tumbled to death by the rake teeth by the time the team stopped. Dad always kept one foot ready to push himself over backwards so he would fall behind the teeth.
For some reason the team would run away with the hay bucker once in awhile. Dad sat on the seat on the back to counterbalance the bucker teeth. If the team ran away, he'd just step off the seat and the teeth of the bucker would dig into the dirt until they stopped the team real fast. I've seen the bucker standing almost vertical with the teeth driven into the ground - and the back legs of the horse lifted off the ground. The horses would look around with a look like "what happened here?"

Peaceful scene. I like the contours in the roots. Art it is. Jim
