I can remember those. Helped my Uncle Bill put up hay in the middle 60's. I run the buck rake and he did the stacking with a ford tractor either a 8n or 2n I'm not sure. I know we had to put a chunk of rail road iron on the right side of the loader over the rear axle of the tractor to offset the weight of the hydraulics on the left side. Once you start up with a load of hay you never turned the steering wheel or the darn thing would tip over. Dangerous to say the least but we put up a lot of hay that way for years.
As a kid it was sure fun to run the buck rake.
