1930's-era Massey Harris Rake on display. This team-led rake allowed raking of around 10 acres a day vice the hand-raking total of about 1 acre a day. This style of rake was pulled behind a team and raked up loose hay until the load was too great, at which time it would "dump" the load and then be picked up for baling.
Cost in the 1870's was about $75. In the 1940's price had ballooned to about $250.
