In the late 50's, early 60's, we put up loose hay in outdoor stacks using a JD B or 530, a New Idea loader, and a steel stacker head that was about 10' wide, teeth about 8' long, that we picked up hay out of a double raked windrow until it was full.

The stacker head would pivot at the mounting point and drop enough for the hay to slide off of it as you built up higher layers. The stack had to be topped out here in SW Iowa with tar paper or plastic under the last layer to minimize rainwater damage. Mel
