Horse Hay-Rake
Horse hay-rakes gather the hay preparatory to its removal from the meadows. It is arranged with a sulky, so that the operator can ride. The spring-teeth gather the hay and retain it until the driver, by pulling the vertical lever, lifts the teeth and discharges it. The horizontal bars projecting through the teeth keep the hay from rising with them, thus insuring its complete discharge. The invention of a horse drawn rake in the 1800's made the process of collecting hay much more efficient. The horse drawn rake could collect eight times a much as one hand raker. This efficiency lead to a larger quantity of feed for cattle. The invention of a horse drawn rake in the 1800's made the process of collecting hay much more efficient.
