Bob,

Yep, everyone in this country bucked hay also years ago. I think they still use 'em in places down in the sandhills here NE. I know I've seen a lot of stationary stackers still working.

Remember that swinging gate with the two legs hanging down to pull the load back off the sweep when ya backed up?

Wish we had a picture so we knew what he was talking about.

This brings to mind the time we had to cut a haystack in half (My dad was known for building some huge stacks.

Anyway, he took two tractors, one on either side of the stack, drapped a long length of barbed wire over the stack and hooked each end to a tractor drawbar. Then he and the neighbor used those two tractors to cut the stack in two, much like a two-man lumber saw. Cut that stack in two like a knife thru butter.
