I thought I recalled someone here was looking at setting up a loose hay system so I’m posting a link to some old farm plans for building an overshot stacker.
Thanks for posting those Geoff. I have an overshot stacker that’s not quite in using shape in the field behind my house. I think it could be rebuilt and I’ve always wanted to do that. Also around here are many Beaver Slide stackers. These are a more simple machine and I think you could build one from scratch without too much trouble. Wouldn’t have to be as big as ours were made either.
