"The hay stacker is to stacking what the horse-fork is to putting hay in the barn, a saver of man labor. It enables the farmer to life the hay on to the stack by horse power instead of man power. The stacker is used almost universally in the West where stacking is the usual method of storying hay. In the East and South, where mush of the hay grown is stored under cover, the stacker could be used to advantage when it becomes necessary to stack, especially where labor is scarce. Where the stacker is used, a boy or woman, driving the team that hoists the hay, can take the place of a man in the haying operation.Stackers are comparatively inexpensive; there are several serviceable types which may be cheaply made at home." -- [2]
