When I was growing up on the farm, we called this a "dump rake". It's simply a hay rake which was pulled by horses and later tractors. The tines would catch cut hay laying in the field. Once they were full, the operator would raise them leaving a mound of hay to be loaded onto a trailer or a truck bed to be transported to the barn. It's a good thing baling took over! This rake sits outside of the Widgi Creek Golf Course near Bend, OR. Farm memories.
