| Notes | : | The New Departure was a remarkable effort by Myers to create a system that kept as much of the haul rope off the floor and in the air as possible. Aside from rope management, it was the first time that Myers provided the means the capture huge amount of hay from the hay wagon by the use of a hay noose instead of the typical fork. The hay noose would travel with the wagon and be laid on top of the wagon before the hay was loaded in the field. That noose would be picked up and moved with this most unusual model. | |
