The bales in the fields have to be loaded onto a skip which is dragged from the fields to the hay stack, usually located close to a barn or 100-pou- corral.

Then the tractor operator pulls a lever which loosens the tines from the bales which are then dropped on top of the stack. Another helper squares the bales on the stack. This method of "putting up" hay was used before the hay baler came into existence.
