Someone had managed to gather together about 60 farm implements and wagons and has decided to put them on display. The vast majority of the farm implements are very old horse drawn machines. The collection includes plows, cultivators, harrows, discs, mowers, corn planters, farm wagons, potato diggers and planters, a hay loader, a manure spreader and two road graders. The display is immediately north of the highway and appears to be accessible 24/7/365, at no charge.
This is, or appears to be, an aerator, AKA spiker. It looks like a disc, but with spikes instead if discs. They are used primarily for aerating grassed areas, like lawns and parks. A farmer may have used it to aerate pasture land. Manufacturer unknown, this one is about seven, possibly eight feet, in width.
