This is an antique hayloader near the historic Filley Stone Barn about 35 miles south of Lincoln, Nebraska. The hayloader was usually pulled just behind a hay trailer and pulled over windrowed hay. The loader pulled the hay up to where workers would unload it onto the trailer. When in use the trailer would be on the other side of the loader and both would be moving away from the camera location. The barn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I can't see the hayloader in the current Google Earth photo but I imagine it still exists somewhere because this area is being preserved.
This image was captured on 4x5 film about 20 years ago.

Thanks Jack. As I mentioned, it's now a museum type facility and being restored. So I'm fairly sure it is inside somewhere.

Thanks Dodie. At the time I took the picture, I didn't realize how the loader works and thought I was photographing it from the front. If I had known I was actually looking at the back of the loader, I might have shot from a different angle. I'm glad I took it as is.
