ANTIQUE HAY FORK for trolley JACKSON LIBBY WEIGHT FORK primitive farm barn tool

For sale is a rare antique "Jackson Libby Weight Fork" Hay fork. This is still very sturdy and I believe could be used today. It is 65" W and 30" H.

It was also know as a Mormon Hay Derrick The Bartley Ranch Museum in Reno Nevada has one on display and this is what the information panel says about this style of Ha. Y Fork To stack the loose hay a derrick such as the Mormon style derrick, characterized by a boom [arm of a crane] that pivots atop the mast, was needed. Moving loose hay from a wagon, slip, or buckrake [long-toothed rake] also required the use of a sling or Jackson fork attached by cable or rope to the boom. A Jackson fork's wooden frame has four or six metal tines. When the fork was closed the tines were pushed into the loose hay and the frame clamped down. Once secured, a harnessed horse was walked a set distance away, pulling the cable through a system of pulleys on the derrick frame. The derrick arm would be swung, and then by tripping the dump rope the fork released to dump the hay.
