This equipment looks like it's had many years of use and even has a wooden yoke. There are many other pieces of equipment here from all over the local area.

A hay rake is an agricultural rake used to collect cut hay into windrows for later collection (e.g. by a baler). It is also designed to fluff up the hay and turn it over so that it may dry.
A hay rake may be mechanized, drawn by a tractor or draft animals, or it may be a hand tool.
