Before motorized trucks, hay was transported using horse-drawn wagons and carts. These early vehicles were often equipped with large, flatbeds or specialized hayracks designed to carry bales of hay. The hay was typically harvested by hand with scythes and gathered into loose piles before being loaded onto the wagons.
With the advent of motor vehicles, trucks began to revolutionize agricultural transport. Early motorized trucks were often adapted from existing horse-drawn designs. These trucks were relatively simple, with flatbeds or open cargo areas designed to carry hay bales. The introduction of gasoline and diesel engines allowed for greater efficiency and speed compared to horse-drawn transport.
The design of trucks continued to improve, with innovations like better suspension systems and more powerful engines. The 1930s and 1940s saw the introduction of more specialized agricultural trucks with features designed for handling hay, such as hydraulic lifts and enclosed cargo areas to protect the hay from weather.
