- Description
Horses, and hay sweep for harvesting, Waiorau Sheep Station, Otago. Photograph taken circa 1930s, probably by George Leslie Adkin.
Other - Notes on back of file print read: "Haymaking. The sweep. Before the advent of the sweep, hay had to be forked on to sledges, drays or waggons [sic] and taken to the stack. Now, by various types of sweep, the hay is gathered directly from the paddock, sometimes without even raking. When working, the teeth are depressed and slide under the hay. Some skill is needed to ensure that the teeth do not dig into the gruond, particularly at any irregularities."
