Hayrake



Way back when, agricultural tasks were accomplished by manual labor. About the only tasks that were not accomplished my mankind, was those accomplished by animals. Horses, mules, oxen, anything that could pull, carry, or push was pressed into service. THEN.........people began to make agricultural "tools" that were mechanical. Eventhough the tools were pulled at animals at first.....they were a welcomed addition to the labor force. The invention of the hayrake was one of those great tools that any large animal could pull.

When the tractor came along.........lordy me........it was incredible how much tractors and mechanicle tools could do in an hour. WOW!!!

The old hayrakes today are just relics of the past.
