All of those things were in use when I was a kid.

Fantastic photos.

In the late 60s one of the neighbors was still farming with 2 horses. I can remember watching them with the hay elivator, or walker, what ever it was called loaded long hay onto the wagon as they pitched it and staked it up. You just have no idea till things are gone. Can we go back for a couple of days, please!

Great pictures! Thank you for sharing!

Hay loader and they are still in use. That is the way a lot of Amish still put up hay. And the Horses do everything. NO tractor power. A good loader for use is priced in the thousand dollar range.

We used a hay loader from my earliest memories until we finally got a pickup baler in 1954! When I was about 12 it was hitched behind a tractor drawn wagon or, more likely, a 1944 1-1/2 ton Dodge truck. Before that it was strictly horses. At that age, I was usually the driver.

Is the guy in the last picture touching up the edge on his scythe, or what's going on there?

Guy in last photo is touching up his scythe. Kinda of a trick to it. We called them idiot sticks, and as a youngster, if I misbehaved I got the opportunity to spend some time on the work end of the stick...

I remember loading loose hay, and that was a lot of work.

Enjoyed those photos. Same man or at least same hat in all three photos. Nice display of varied skills.

Great photos.....I bet those 2 hay burners pulling the mower can eat all the hay he cuts.

He is sharpening his scythe with a "whit rock" which is what my dad called them. You strike it down one edge and back down the opposite edge on the return stroke. I was doing it one day and whacked the scythe blade too hard and broke the sharpening stone.
