It's for roto vating... !!!! [ Probably good for removing grass cover, or maybe small brush ]
Howard made many versions of tillers. Try to find a letter for the model and look here.

Thanks guys, yeah it pretty weird and the only letter is the J which should be regular tiller. So that makes me think, was this home made ? It does not look like.
I agree that this is good only for grass and and maybe dog wood.

The position of those cutters or whatever I shall call it, seems position on the drum to perfectly so home made not likely. Anyway, I will take it into my bush in the spring to see what it can do.
Thanks again

Familiar with a Residential Gravel Rd. which is county maintained. Rural and a few miles long which is well kept up with and maintained. A few county officials live on the Rd. and seen them behind a few of the tractors. Never paid much Attn. to them but I seen them using it cleaning and clearing the Rd. shoulders come to think about it I believe.............

I can see how this would break up the gravel shoulder as I live on gravel road so maybe the original owner had really long driveway to maintain and had made this special drum and replaced the original tines which would make this a regular rototiller.
Thanks everyone for their input. Cheers
