Excuse me....."Sweep Job" GS2 of the Finger Lakes Railroad performs its Sunday ritual, running to Solvay, NY in the morning and back to Geneva in the afternoon.

A tractor with a towed hay rake spotted on a foggy day at a North Texas farm.

This is a hay raking implement in infrared. Wheel rakes are the most common and popular type of rake in the United States. They are also the lowest cost rake because there is no PTO (power take-off) or hydraulics needed to drive the rake mechanism.

Origins of the hay rake: One Ohio man with a passion for invention helped shape our community and the world. Edward Huber was just 26 when he earned his first of more than 100 patents. This blacksmith and inventor created the revolving wood hay rake in 1863. Huber moved to Ohio with his wife and started building and marketing the hay rake in 1865. More than 200,000 hay rakes flew off the shelves as farmers snapped up this invention which allowed one worker to accomplish what used to take seven or more people. This image is a modern version of the hay rake.
