Louden Round Barn Hay Unloading Outfits 



Within recent years there has been much discussion regarding the advantages and 

 disadvantages of round barns. It is not our purpose in this catalog to enter into a dis- 

 cussion of the merits of such buildings. We know that in certain localities round barns 

 have come into favor and one of the problems in connection with these buildings has 

 been the hay unloading outfit. Operating a hay carrier on a straight-away track and 

 operating a hay carrier on a circle track are two entirely different propositions. It was 

 our business to provide successful tools for unloading hay on the circle track. We have 

 perfected hay unloading equipment to meet every condition in the round barn and with 

 which hay may be handled and stored as quickly, as cheaply, as easily, and as safely as 

 in rectangular barns.
