Table XXVIII gives the time required for two men besides the driver of the team to put on a load with the cylinder hay loader. Fig. 10.—In loading hay by hand the 3-man crew is most often used. from the swath and from the windrow, and with the rake loader ifrom the swath. More than twice as many men reported using rake loaders than those using cylinder loaders. Some reported the use of only one man on the load, but there were not enough of these to justify comparison between this practice and the using of two men. The table shows that, as far as time is concerned, there is very little difference between the efficiency of these two loaders. The average size of load put on with the loaders is tons, nearly the same as that put on when the work is done by hand. As compared with loading by hand, three men with a loader— two besides the driver of the team—put on a load in about 25 per cent less time than do three men by hand.
