There is no plaque with information. I believe this website gives a good description of this piece of equipment. Leonis Adobe Museum

After hay is cut, it dries in the field. The hay dump rake gathers the dry hay. As the wheels rotate forward, the rake lifts up and dumps the load of hay into rows called "windrows". The rake can be raised for travel to and from the field. This kind of rake was invented in the 1870's and is pulled by horses.
