Odd tractor implements

[Cliff_Johns]

OK, the strange tractor thread has shown a variety of odd tractors, now I'm hoping folks will step up to the plate and post (or link) pictures of some of the strangest tractor implements they've found.

Here's a tractor chainsaw.

And here's a beach cleaner

I didn't know they made those, though I guess it makes a lot of sense.

This is apparently called a drainage blade.

Don't know what Ford called it.
Don't have a picture or a link.
But the strangest thing I've ever seen on a tractor was the weedwhacker/propeller thingy Ford marketed with the 8N.

Big ol' propeller looking blade with absolutely no guard whatsoever, just a hangin' off the back end, and looking like THE reason why we have OSHA today.

Any guesses as to what this does?

Interesting implement on an interesting tractor.

Looks like some of the specialized outfits I have seen for applying anhydrous ammonia and such. But I don't see a tank for the solution. hmmmm.......

My monitor is going on the fritz, and everything is a little too dark to see well, but. I'll take a stab at it.

If I'm seeing what I THINK I'm seeing, that's what is used to "de-tassle" corn. Seed corn growers de-tassle to eliminate/control pollination.

Probably some tricky driving, keeping the wheels between rows in standing corn.

This JD is set up to do something. I don't know what the attachment is, not why this tractor is wearing a skirt.

I guess it has something to do with Christmas trees, but it's not obvious.

Here is an implement for breaking up runways -- which probably turn into concrete, but it's quite a middle-buster.

Some kind of spraying thing.

Sprayer?

Kind of interesting though. I guess it's for poison that the rider didn't want to breath.
