I used to watch this event every year from 1963 until 1968 when I got drafted. I have told lots of people about the event and always marveled at the speed. Most of the competitors in those days were my school friends (Antelope Valley Joint Union High School) and their brothers. Most of the alfalfa growers in the area competed with their hook trucks from straight off the farm. Wow, I miss seeing that...

We used to boomswing bales off trucks parked in front of the dairy all the way across the yard and into a barn and fill it to the top when I was a kid..tje boomtruck was a 66 chevy truck chassis with about a 30 ft boom with a rope winch made out of a rear axle..

I stacked hay with both of those guys, Brian and Danny. At 48, I have respect for the hay buck, my dad made me stack manger loads at 16. Hard work but Danny would throw off and say “get in the truck, ride the clutch”. 45 min later he went for another. Legend.

Dad hauled hay for some 40 years. That Eldert Van Dam that the announcer spoke of used to unload Dad years ago when he was in his teens. That hay haulin' used to be tough work....much easier now with the squeeze.

Nick van dam is my cousin. My name is Michael Haseltine and I live in Oklahoma. His mom was my mom's sister Nick's mom's name was Dorthy Cornelison before she married Art Can Dam. Then Art died in a car wreck and my aunt Dorthy died of breast cancer. Nick has been through a whole lot especially in his younger years.

Made me motivated for work tomorrow. I myself work as a hay sales person. Just started but getting the hang of the stacking. The lifting isn't so much of a problem to me as it is to other people. Cool video!

It is a pickup or car rear axle narrowed &one wheel has a rope wound around wheel up to boom down to hook , then the other wheel end has the brake actuated by the rope in the operate hand & when he pulls on brake rope it makes the hook pull the bale up . The rear axle can't be a posi track or any locker type rear axle.

Cables to help lift & guide??.. WTF is up with that??,.. If the were true & honest men in a true old fashioned bale bucking contest they wouldn't need let alone be able to use anything to help, it actually ruins the whole point of the contest which is supposed to be who has the most stamina and strength to get r done as well as speed (cables reduce the amount of the stamina & strength needed in the repetition of the contest also reduce the chances of the bales dropping if the toss is misjudged or not done properly ) bunch of cheaters for sure
