Can any one tell me what this 3 point attachment is? What is it worth? What is it used for? For more pictures, go to treasuretrovesonline.com or call Raymond @616-836-7376.

My guess is an aerator.

Ya, aerator or tined cultivator.
Tines don't seem quite long enough for true aeration but it also seems to have too many sets/gangs for simple cultivating. Non-adjustable and seem to be staggered to cover entire width of the tool.
Worth? Couple hundred maybe if it's free-wheeling and in decent working condition. And assuming you can figure out what to call it and how to describe it to a buyer.

Call it an antique farming artifact and ask a small fortune for it.

I like it!!! Thanks for the idea!!:thumbsup:
Thanks to all of you that have replied. That is what I thought it was but was not sure.
Oh and by the way... it is free wheeling and seems like it would work fine. We do not have a tractor to hook it to any more, so we can not really try it out.
Thanks again.

Even though it looks like its purpose would be to aerate, I think back in the days of when this tool was built a much simpler design for aerating would have been made, even today it is as simple made as a steel drum with spikes weld to it.....
this tool looks like it would do a bit more than jab holes in the ground, it might be more for cultivating topsoil or could have been the first design of a pull behind rototiller for a tractor, the cutters are stager as would be Tines on a tiller, .... I'm gonna guess the first none PTO powered rototiller

You could be right. I see what you mean with the tines. It does look like a rototiller type thing.
I guess that I need more replies to figure this one out.
Thanks again!!

I think it's a rotary hoe, but I guess it could be called an aerator as well. Either way, the tines dig up small divots as they rotate.
