This item is used with the tractor. Here are several pictures...No guessing if you have been at the Farm when this "tool" was being used and especially no guessing if you have used this "tool" before!!!
Well, this negates my comment on your last post! I should have looked carefully before posting. Another good policy that I might soon adopt. As for this equipment...I'll be the guy on "Ask this Old House" who always guesses really ridiculous uses for the object in question, based on appearances only. One might imagine a farmer filling the yellow cylinder with seeds, which then spill out of either end and roll down the red, slanted planks into the hands of the two friendly farmers waiting in the seats below. As a third farmer drives the contraption along the rows, those two farmers are able to quickly fill seed trenches on either side of the tractor. They do not need to stand up or bend over, as the seats are simply dragged along the ground, thus protecting the backs of the farmers and keeping them relatively comfortable and sedentary. :) NO CLUE!
That looks like a homemade spray boom to water the plants.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue, and I've been to the farm! But it kind of looks like it runs itself, which would be cool!
ReplyDeleteLooks like something you use to see to seed with.
