The Hay Sweep. (text alt)
(Jigsaw temporarily broken - sorry)
Another view of the wooden "Tumbling
Tam" hay sweep: modelled by Ray Ayres for Border Fine Arts
(see Links), from John Dodd and his family's
farm at Sillywrea, Northumberland.
Avoiding the heavy spikes as they went head
over heels wasn't easy. And on uneven ground there was another hazard:
the points of the sweep could become embedded in a ridge in the field
and would frequently snap off.
