[QUOTE="oakleaf, post: 6181048, member: 537"] When it came to taking sacks up to the loft we were very progressive. No climbing stone steps , we used a wire rope , pulley and a sling and a Ferguson. Man on ground would put sling around sack then the Fergy would drive foward and hoist the sack up untill it was dangling in front of the door where another man would lean out and grab it and haul it back in as the Fergy reversed for the next one. Yes it was slow and probably no safer having to lean out the door to grab a swinging sack but it was definitely easier on the spine. Never lifted churns either as the dairy was on a slope so the churns were just rolled onto a trailer and driven down to the end of the lane and rolled onto the stand. [/QUOTE]
