Old Farming Ways is a new series presented by Adrian O’ Connor. In Episode 1, ‘Old Machinery’ The hay car, or hay boggie, was used to bring in the hay from the fields. The trams of hay were winched on board using ropes and a ratchet system. Adrian chats with his uncle Bernie about those days when all the work on the land was done by horse drawn machines like the Hay Rake. The hay rake collected, or raked up, the hay in order to make ‘hay Trams’ in the fields. Bernie explains how a tumbling paddy worked.
