Hi!
Is there an online source showing implements and attachments for tractors and farm machinery with pictures and names? Or of course, we could have a thread named "What would you call this?"

Definitely a good start, but if you have something, and no idea what it's called, then a list with names and pictures would be even better. Especially if you just need the term and just have a picture to work from. Also, check what comes up if you click on 'rotator' . Not exactly what I'd expected, as I imagined something like a rotary tiller (tillovator).
However, googling 'tractor attachments' gives a lot of commercial sites where one can learn the terminology (or at least what the different manufacturers call their stuff). This one is about what I had in mind: Erskine Attachments

You have to remember people have a tendency to call things what they've heard them called... every rotary cutter/shredder/pulvirizer gets called a bush hog (a brand), like all soft drinks gets referred to as "coke".
Even the implement manufacturers may have a different name than another does for the same tool.
Over time your tiller also becomes a rototiller, a rotivater, a tillovater, depending on who's talking... think you've heard them all and someone comes up with another name!

Well, image and all the possible, and impossible, names would be the ticket?
