Here are some clues!
It is heavy.
And a little rusty but not where it matters.
It was for sale and now it’s not!
Getting warmer?
Now are you getting warmer?
Yes. A hay elevator.
I have never seen one before either.
It is old but beautiful. And even better it has a motor that RUNS!
Today we will position it in the barn and feed it with the last of the bales of hay that are hanging about. They will clatter effortlessly into the hay loft and everyone will smile.
Good morning. Our friend Daisy’s breeder found the hay elevator loitering at an auction and as she is also a member of The Fellowship of the Farmy and a good neighbour, she knew we needed one so she called me, got the OK, bid on it, settled on a good price, then she and her husband heaved it onto the bed of their hay rack and brought it over. Perfect.
Have a lovely day. I am off out to play with my new toy!
your friend, celi

Now that was an excellent find. I love the ‘patina’….oh sure, some might call it rust but that sounds so ugly. May it serve you well.
Congradulations! They make a huge racket, don’t they? And the new shiny ones with lovely coloured paint still make a huge racket. And two of them going simply compounds the noise. ; ) Ours cut out if we overloaded them. We figured out how many bales we could put on at a time, then didn’t put another one on until one fell off. Our bales were 30 to 40 pounds each but the ‘bought’ hay came 90 to 110 pounds a bale. We couldn’t put as many bales on the elevator with those ones! And no one was tossing them, not even the teenage boys! Oh, I do hope you get a Gig Fat Third Cut.
The third cut might be a heavy one too, and there are a hundred bought bales ordered plus the straw, so it will be getting a lot of work soon.. c
I had a Duplo one once and I adored it, so practical and nifty! 😉
