Hay Rake II
A hay rake drawn by horse came onto the scene in the 1800’s. This made the process of collecting hay much more efficient. The horse drawn rake could collect about 8 times a much as someone raking by hand. This lead to more hay gathered to feed the stock and more time to do other chores, before winter set in….Also pictured is a split-rail fence.

Nice shot, Gary. Looks better in color. More ‘rust’ic (sorry, couldn’t resist).

Gary, my dad has one of these around his farmette (junkyard) in Wisconsin. He’s from the Bluff City area of Tennessee. He loves this old stuff. I’ll send him a link to this pic.

My grandpa had one of these when we were younger. It was propped up in an apple tree and us youngun’s would sit in the seat and pretend we were raking hay. Great shot.
