I have an old time up by me that still uses a hay stacker. Once he has a wagon full he lose piles it in the barn. This use to be the modern way of doing hay. He doesn't do alot of hay so it seems to work for him.
My kids would say, "Here goes dad with his old days stories again".
Until I was 17, we put hay up by mowing with an old horse drawn sickle bar, albiet pulled behind a tractor, a dump rake, and pitch forks. (loose hay thrown in the barn.) In 1964, dad bought an stationary baler. We still had to gather the hay the same way, haul it to the baler, then pitch it in the baler. At least we had baled hay to stack in the barn and to feed with. And THAT seemed oh, so modern at the time.
