Harrowbed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A harobed is a piece of farm machinery like a combine harvester that picks up hay bales and stacks them on a bed with a tie tier in a pile approx 10 ft. wide, 14 ft. long and 8 feet high. Once the harobed is full, it delivers the hay to a storage area such as a barn where it neatly stacks the piles of hay bales next to each other. Before the harobed was invented all hay bales were stacked by hand. With a harobed a farmer can stack his hay simply the way it comes off the machine, or he can hire hay bucks to "top off" the stack and fill in the areas the harobed does not fit.
