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 one of the newer and larger pieces here. Ground driven, it is rather ingenious, as well. It will pick up your windrowed hay and load it into a wagon pulled behind, saving a heck of a lot of time and effort in the process. Since the incline up the loader is pretty steep, two sets of opposite acting walking beams operating off a crankshaft are used to advance the hay up the slope and into the wagon. Made by Cockshutt, it is a Model 3 Hay Loader.
