A local farmer, probably with the last name of Patton, has become a magnet for all of the old agricultural implements and tools that other farmers in the area want to clear off their land. So he has improvised this display for passing tourists to stop and view.
Some of the parts for this plow are not mounted in their normal position. The wheels allowed the depth of cut by the plowshare to be regulated more easily. This was probably pulled by a tractor or a team of horses.
