Hay—rak′er and Load′er.


Husbandry.) An implement for raking hay in the swath and delivering it on to a wagon. It is usually attached to the hind axle of the wagon, and is dragged in the rear, a rake gathering up the hay in the swath as the wagon goes over the ground; a traveling apron with teeth lifts the gathered hay, carries it up, and discharges it on to the wagon. When the wagon is loaded the implement is detached.
