About this Product
Great vintage snow covered hay rake.
This particular style rake is called a dump rake, a wide two-wheeled implement with curved steel teeth and was operated from a seat mounted over the rake with a lever-operated lifting mechanism.
The rake gathered cut hay into a long line by repeated operation requiring the operator to raise the rake, turn around and drop the teeth to rake back and forth in order to form a windrow (long line of raked hay).
The rake was pulled by horses harnessed to it. Perhaps grandpa Clem operated the rake while his favorite horse team Dolly and Nellie pulled.
Imagine the work this piece of equipment accomplished over its active life.

As photographers: Julie and Bob, a husband and wife team, have been traveling for the past 40 years photographing a wide variety of subjects, primarily nature, and wildlife. Our photographs have been purchased, and enjoyed by many private collectors, while some of our photographs have appeared in natural history museums.
We also produce unique, and one of a kind wood products that serve as both functional, and ornamental in their quality. Our wood pieces are made by hand from locally, and responsibly harvested materials.
We have had great success selling products at local art & craft fairs throughout southern Wisconsin.
Now that we are retired, we continue to focus on our crafts, wishing to open up our wares to a wider audience. Therefore, we are now offing our items for sale online. We hope you enjoy the creativity, and lifelong passion that we craft into every piece that we make.
