We have the FE Meyers brand hay forks in our barn as well. This barn was built in 1950 to replace the previous one hit by lightening (God's hand in keeping Grandpa from sending Dad off to Seminary in Saginaw to begin studying for the ministry). They made loose hay with hay loaders in the field and the forks to pull them into the barn. By the time I came along, the neighbor had a Ford baler with motor he pulled with a war-surplus Jeep. We pulled up eight bales at a time. I started as tractor driver, using the MI to pull them up, Dad stuck the loads and Grandpa shoved them around in mow until Dad could get up and help stack. When I got old enough to learn how to stick loads, my older cousin showed me how you could stick a load, pull them up, trip them from below, climb up and stack them, then slide down the rope onto the load to stick the next!
We used them into the 1990s, when the trolley started to drop off at random times (something must be worn out). I found a barn-length tube elevator system and 25 foot elevator from the wagon up to the mow, and have been handling every bale by myself for the last few years.
