Old-Time Hay
Machinery
Focus Of Show
ARCADIA, Md. Hay tools
and equipment became the focus
of the 40th annual Maryland Steam
Historical Society Show held here
recently, with the theme, “Make
Hay While The Sun Shines.”
This year’s show had the “finest
collection of hay tools and equip
ment ever assembled anywhere,”
said Robert Rauhauser, hay tool
collector from Thomasville, Pa.
Rauhauser said the show experi
ence was “like stepping back in
time” and featured a variety of
tools. They ranged from a hand
operated hay press to a one-horse
sweep hay press to a stationary bal
er to a kicker baler to a large round
baler.
Included were a collection of
haymow forks, hay track carriers
(some made that didn’t have four
wheels and slid on a wooden
track), hay knives, safety grapples,
swivel rope hooks, a hay load bin
der, and other items.
There were more than 20 collec
tors displaying from Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, and
Pennsylvania.
One exhibitor, Olin Pryor, Mar
tinsburg, W.Va., is the owner of a
hone-horse sweep hay press on
display. Rauhauser, Thomasville,
Pa., believes his own hand
operated hay press was manufac
tured before the Civil War.
Robert Schwab, Hagerstown
Md., and Earl Rohrbaugh, Glen
Rock, Pa., enjoyed showing and
explaining how their mower knife
grinders worked.
