CHOOSING HAY UNLOADING TOOLS 



While a majority of our friends who receive this catalog are 

 posted on the subject of Hay Unloading Tools, we believe that 

 a few words, outlining in a general way the different points to 

 be considered in choosing an outfit, will be of interest to many. 



Kinds of Barns 



Barns may be divided into four classes: 



1. The Single End Hoist Barn. In this type of barn the 

 hay is taken into the mow at one end of the barn. 



2. The Double End Hoist Barn. Hay may be taken into 

 this type of barn from either end of the building. 



3. The Center Drive Barn. This type has a driveway run- 

 ning through the center; hay is lifted up to the necessary height 

 and carried into the left or right mow as desired. 



4. The Round Barn. This type of barn requires special 

 equipment. (See pages 25 to 27.) 



Forks or Slings? 



After classifying your barn, the next point to consider is whether you 

 want to use a Fork or Slings to remove the hay from the wagon. This 

 must be very largely a matter of individual choice, and a careful reading 

 of the descriptions of Forks, pages 38 to 40 and of Slings, pages 41 

 to 44, will help in the solution. Either Forks or Slings can be used in 

 any type of barn. 



The Carrier For You 



A Hay Carrier is classified either as a Fork Carrier or Sling Carrier. 

 A Fork Carrier can. by using our Self-Locking Sling Pulleys (see page 

 46) be used with Slings and a Sling Carrier can handle Forks, if a Fork 

 Clevis (see page 45) is attached. 



We recommend, that, insofar as possible, a choice be made between 

 Forks and Slings before choosing a Carrier. 



The following short descriptions give an idea of the different carriers: 

 Junior Fork Carrier 



There are more Louden Junior Fork Carriers in use than any other 

 carrier made. They meet all conditions and requirements 

 for a fork carrier. They can be used in either center- 

 drive or end-hoist barn. They can be depended upon 

 to do their work at all times and under all reasonable 



conditions. (See page 8.) 

 Senior Fork Carrier 



This is the strongest Fork 

 Carrier made and is easy to 

 operate. It can be used in 

 Center Drive or End Hoist 

 barns and is specially recom- 

 mended where heavy loads 

 are to be handled. (See 

 page 10.)
