- Using a hay hook and trolley pulled by a horse to unload loose hay from the wagon into the hay mow of the barn. This occurred at the 2019 Big Spring Hay & Threshing show near New Holland, Pa. This is put on by the Swiss Heritage group.

When I was in high school in the 60s we hauled baled hay using a derrick. Used a tractor instead of a horse on the derrick. Had to be careful using the deadman fork. When it was tripped it would spring out and injure anyone standing too close. My father raised hay in the 50s but we used a tractor with what was referred to as a Farmhand loader that had long prongs that would glide along the ground scooping up the bunched hay piles and load it on a trailer. Once the hay was stacked, a hay knife was used to cut or saw off sections to feed.
What beautiful and seemingly well taken care of horses!!
The same way we did it for years then we got tractors .it brings back the happy childhood memories of years ago.so wonderful back then
We did this in the 50's. Our loads were twice that in size. The extra weight caused the hay to pack more tightly and not drop hay while unloading. My Dad was a master at "bucking" the loader. (stacking the hay on the wagon in the field) We used a "fork' instead of grappling hooks. We would unload with just four sticks of the fork. That included the time little brother got his feet tangled in the "trip" rope and went up with a forkful of hay. He never got hurt. Weird child. We used an International "B" instead of horses.
Uyubb
Our loads were three times that size.
I was the stack builder under a beaver slide in the Bitterroot valley in the fifties
When I was a kid the farmer we knew allowed us to ride the hay wagon into the barn and they used this method to stack the hay. As I recall there were 4 arms to grab the hay. Didn't drop very little.
That’s the way we did it in the 50s and 60s
Hmmmmmmm…………If every man standing around just grabbed a pitch fork they could have unloaded the hay wagon in half the time! LOL
I did this as kid near DREW ONTARIO CANADA, hooking up sling rops or hay fork,my sister drove 1953 jubilee ford tractor tractor,, neigbour used Clydesdale horses
We used simular hooks in northern norway in late 1970 mostly to get hay-silage from the silage to the silage pilecompartment to the goat compartment of the barn.
The lifting was done by an electric 2000 pound winsj mounted on rails in the roof of the barn.
and the same winsj was used for dry hay ore whatever else, say lifting the snowmobile up on the workbench if say the belt-engine needed service.
That was awesome to see👍❤ it could been a better film but ain't complaining. What I did watch reminds me to think of how all them old timers put up hay for hundreds of years before balers came about. That was also back when people didn't mind helping, where most people wanted to communicated. Nowadays it's been and still the opposite ever since haying equipment came out for most places. Me and my family still drives around to see our neighborhood farmers and have conversations about stuff. Other than that good video.
When I was a kid I drove a '41 JD LA in place of the horse to pull the hay up
We used them with baled hay in the mid to late 70:s using a H Farmall tractor. We would pull up 20 baled at a time. It worked very well.
I've used those hay hooks for years. It'll grab 8 square bales at a time. But ya gotta be careful and not be underneath when they're released. Grandpa got his neck broken that way.
We used a similar fork to handle 8 bales at a time. Loose hay was also put up with a U-shaped, 2-prong fork and even a single stab fork before that. (Before my time.)
When my family moved to northern Michigan in the early 60’s that’s how we got our hay in the barn.
still have the equpment in my barn in Michigan
My uncle was using one of those as early as 1951. Instead of using horses I as a 12 year old drove the tractor to lift the hay up into the loft. My dad was on the wagon.
back in time they using the oldest and calm horse to do this beacause with to much pull you can destroy the farm shed
@@mandataruu8685 I think 1951 was the first year my uncle had a tractor, prior to that they used a team of horses that dad drove to do the job. My grandpa's barn was sturdy enough that too much pull would not destroy it, that may be why they let me drive the tractor. haha. We put a lot more hay than that on the wagon.
Put up hay this same way in early 50's. Moved on from loose hay with only horses, and then to baled hay and a B Farmall tractor in place of the horses. As a 12 yr old, was great fun but hard work. Had many fewer hands to help than this Amish crew, but they were enjoying their tasks.
Agree their loose hay on the wagon was not stacked right.
Is anyone not gonna talk about the Amish man using an electric chair lol
Mennonite man!
Never loaded loose hay....
We did this in 50s up to early 60s. I drove a model A doodle bug to pull the hay hook up. I was 10/12 yrs old. It was baled hay not loose.
Such beautiful horses.
Someone should have invented a way to grab the wagon, tilt it and dump the hay with one pull from the horse.
So how the heck you change the rope out if it breaks mid travel on the trolley between mows?
Interesting education
One of those things buy the 3rd cart you get it diled in and it would work great just like any thing first few are not so good
We used a double harpoon fork.
nice horses
We did it with loose than also bales later on in late 50s.
maybe 1850
I have put up hay like that, no carbon emissions.
You didn't breathe?
Plenty of methane emissions. " a farting horse will never Tire. A farting man is the one to hire"!
Never showed the hook-ups in ba
I am familiar with a hay loft not a mow..That is what is done to the hay as cutting.
I always heard loft when referencing a area up in the air. The mow (rhymes with cow) was the ends of the barn used for storage. Mow might just be the Pa Dutch word for loft and I don't know it.
Is this in Lancaster County?
Yes, an old-time farming demonstrations show. Name is in the description.
Dad would talk how did this, not say how got it to go left and right
please dont shake the camera
We called a hay fork.
AOC s green new deal . This is your grandkids future.
its not working right we used them years ago it worked a lot better than this one ,,
Something is opening the trip that drops the hay this may not be the regular hay crew lol.
This is set up for public viewing and demonstration purposes you notice the camera crew and loudspeakers on the golf cart. Besides the haymow floor is missing, and also the rail that ran the full length of the haymow.
In my youth I could have forked that load off faster than this demonstration.
Looked to me as a perfect case of disorganised Chaos combined with too many Indians standing around like Council Workers, and too many Chiefs pretending to know what they were doing.
Horses were Beautiful and the only part worth looking at for me, otherwise I was Fuming at the incompetence.
... back in the day... I would do the job more quickly using a manual long fork ... and with additional benefits. More satisfaction at the end of the day!
I like that boys Calvin .
Can t see a thing.
lincoln should be proud, maybe there is 1858
At least you know it don't work.
what you do not see is how hot it is in the mow whooo sweat just running off you so when working on neighboring farms at lunch would offer you a beer i be 13 sure i will
Funny to watch those people pull on the hames n neck collar like that’s not how the horse pulls 2x it’s weight forward n a lil tug n it’s supposed to be pulled backwards? Lol guy gives up like “ stupid horse “ 🤣
Stupid human you mean. He was pulling it in to place, not asking him to back up.
well this is first time i,ve seen this donwe my grandad did this when i was a we lad in perry co indiana my how times have changed
P
Looks like a total failure to me
Seems like a very inefficient and somewhat unsafe way to unload. I’d put chains or rope down on the trailer 1st then tie over the top of the hay and let the horses pull it off the trailer
My father was born in 1917. When he was young, they used ropes as you describe. The ropes had eyelets on end and one in the center. These were used to hook to the hooked to carrier that lifted the hay off the trailer and up into the barn.
True. And All those extra people standing around Doesn't make things much safer either.
What's also inefficient in this video is all the people standing around not working or helping
@@staceyrashkin2609 there Taurus tourist yes autocorrect I said tourist. It's a demonstration for tourists.
@@staceyrashkin2609 This was at a show
I've used those hay hooks for years. It'll grab 8 square baked at a time. But ya gotta be careful and not be underneath when they're released. Grandpa got his neck broken that way.
