The Beaverslide is an approximately 30-foot tall stacking implement employing a large fiay basket which is pulled up an inclined glide surface. Invented in western Montana's Big Hole Valley in 1910, its use diffused to numerous other areas in western North America. Homemade and inexpensive, the stacker is able to put up large amounts of hay quickly. Newer large capacity haying systems have displaced the Beaverslide in many areas, but its use continues in other areas where it remains the least cost haying system and where associated large stacks continue to impart a distinctive look on the cultural landscapes. Metal versions are now beginning to replace the traditional wooden models in Montana. The Beaverslide hay stacker may experience a revival if fuel costs continue to rise significantly. |
