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.

We just saw a corn planter, which could be a clue to the nature of this cultivator. I suspect that, given the spacing of the shovels, with a gap in the centre, and the height of the carriage, this is likely to be a corn cultivator. The shovels are in two sets, each narrow enough to pass between two rows of corn planted by any of the planters here. This one was made by IHC, as it has the McCormick Deering lettering right in front of the operator's seat.
