What is this?

[Don87]

In all honesty..............it looks like some kind of tool for cutting dirt from the sides of a ditch maybe?
Look at your terrain......what could it have been used for.

It looks similar to the angled drags that they use at the tractor pulls for pulling dirt back into the tire ruts.

Sod cutter ?

small disc small bushhog and and and I don't know what that other thing is.

Do your neighbors flood irrigate???

Looks kinda like a dike hiller but the draw bar has me stumped as it's in the wrong position. The "tail wheel" looks like a marker of sorts..... Is there a way to "adjust" the hitch to different angles?

Other than that..... well ya the pizza cutter idea has some meritlol

That is somebodys' idea that failed.

If you can figure out what it is,it'll probably come in handy.

It's your 'special purpose' tool. You know 'that thing-a-ma-jig-what-cha-callit'. But it needs a couple a parts (just little ones you could make but it wouldn't a be 'riginal then). And it's real old and a collectors item.

Because I only seen one persons answer that is close, I'll let you know that it is a very old ditch cleaner. I've seen several, that one's pretty bad shape.
Long piece goes to bottom of ditch. The short one furrow's silt, grass out. It was pulled by hitch at front, and adjusted by mostly missing pieces in between both pieces of iron.

Except for the "wheel" it is almost exactly like the ditch cleaners I've seen in irrigation areas. One side of the cleaner runs in the bottom of the V-shaped ditch to position the implement while the other side with the cutting edge acts as a grader blade on one side of the ditch. At the end, turn around and go back to do the other side.
