Has anyone loaded loose hay onto wagons with a buck rake and what can you comment about doing that?
Also how do you calculate the bulk density of packed loose hay so you know how much you have in storage or per unit of volume?

My father-in-law had a buck rake for his tractor that worked well – like a forklift. I’ve never seen a horse-powered one in action.
I believe packed loose hay takes up about 500 cubic feet per ton, but there are lots of variables.

I haven’t got my Jay hawk restored yet but it would do it, so will an overshot, just bring the hay up with the buck rakes and load on the shot and upend into the wagon. a hay loader would be faster and need a lot less help

Terminology I am not familiar with, overshot. Would be neat if you had a photo of one in action.
Why wouldn’t you just pick the load up with the hay on it and dump it in the wagon? I am assuming the buck rake is on a tractor loader arms.

HI most tractor mounted ones up here were called a farm hand after a Manufacturer of these, the buck rake was one of the attachments that you could use on these. I thought you meant the horse drawn one, any way lots of people loaded wagons with tracktor loaders, unloading taks some tools though or your in for a lot of forking, sent a pic of a overshot and buck rakes.
