Questions
[ View/Ask ]MPTC's Horicon Regional Center has a dump rake (also called a horse-drawn hay rake or sulky rake).
- The machine has two large spoked wheels
- A long row of curved spring-steel tines forming a rake
- A metal seat mounted above the axle
- A lever/linkage system (partly hidden in the grass) used to “dump” gathered hay
These features are classic to late 1800s–early 1900s horse-drawn dump rakes.
The operator rode on the seat while a horse pulled the rake. When enough hay accumulated, the operator would trip a lever, lifting the tines and dropping (“dumping”) the windrow.
This style predates PTO tractors and was common before side-delivery rakes became standard.
