Terminology

[jonnmero]

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?"

will this work ?

List of agricultural machinery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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?

Problem is if you know what it looks like, but don't have a clue what it's called, then it can take a fair while to find out. Then the Erskine page is, IMO, the better bid.
