What is this?

[Redneck_Randy]

There is a thread at a chevy truck forum I visit and this was posted by one of the members asking what it is. No one has came up with an answer yet to what it is. I have a feeling it might be farm releated and a member here might know what it is. Pictures at the link posted below.

Thanks

??? Tool What is it

Here's the link to the truck forum talking about the ??? item.

I could be wrong, but that picture seems to trigger an old memory of a hand planting stick. It saved your back from not having to bend over all day. I don't believe that all the pieces are there, if my memory has not completely failed me there was a bag that hung from your shoulder and a tube to feed the planter.

Edit: I should have said it was a corn planter, a pre-horse drawn, planter.

You nailed it WhyNot! I knew I had seen that object before but the old memory could not dredge up the correct name or usage. Thanks for straightening me out.

Same here. I thought that it was a hay fork of some sort but it took some searching on google to get the correct name. Then I remembered a friend of mine that has a collection of hay forks has one and that is where I had seen one before.

WOW! I would have never thought it was used for hay. BIG Thanks Why not. I'll let them know what it is.

Thanks

Randy, did the chevytalk guys ever figure out what that thing was? Haven't been there in a while... but I do remember seeing that "thing" & it sure stumped me.
