- Harpoon-Type Horse Hay Fork, circa 1895 - Moving bulky, loose hay in the 19th and early 20th centuries was hard, but necessary, work. Farmers stored some hay in barns after harvesting to continue the drying and curing process. Hay lifting forks -- usually operated with ropes, pulleys and lever releases -- could move large quantities of hay from wagons into haymows or lofts. These devices saved time and energy.
