Re: What\'s This?
Thanks
Here is another shot. The owner of this piece also has a barrel full of concrete with a bar through it and a fitting at the top. I think this was used for ballast.
One thing my tractor has Cat II 3pt, are there sleeves or converters to allow Cat I implements to attach?

Re: What\'s This?
Looking at both pictures, I'd say it was an old truck tire.

I know there are standard sleeves (bushings) for the draw pins going from Ø7/8" ID to Ø1-1/8"OD that you can buy about anywhere, as well as the top link pin bushing going from Ø3/4"ID to Ø1"OD.
My tractor has a Ø7/8" top link pin so I ended up turning down a Ø3/4"ID/Ø1"OD/ bushing in the lathe to make the OD Ø7/8". Those suckers are harder than H#@*!!!

Re: What\'s This?
Could use the tire(s) to make leveling wheels for the boxblade if there are 2? And the 55 gal drums to make a bar-b-que. Then you could mount it to the carry-all making it portable for pic-nics anywhere you want. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif...just kidding about that part....but the 55 gal drums make great b-b-ques.

Re: What\'s This?
RVatior, that is a tobaco transplanter. Hooked behind a tractor to transplant small seedlings. I rode one many hours when I was younger. 2 people sat in the seats and hand dropped seedlings into the open furrow and the roller at the back covered them. They were mostly used on a 3PH. but I have seen them trailer mounted. HTH. later, Nat

Re: What\'s This?
rviator,
I thought the same thing about a transplanter, but, if those shield-looking things rotate, it could be something called a border-checker.
Border-checkers are used to close borders for irrigation where borders cross like at right angles.
<font color="brown">A Border Disk</font> throws soil together to form a berm to control irrigation water. In an application like an orhard where you have criss-crossing borders leaves the sections compromised where they will leak water. The border-checker is dragged along after the border disk to close where the disks cut through the border at the right angles. (believe me, you don't want to do that by hand!) /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
But, that's just my guess. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

That makes sense to me -- BTW - that piece of equipment is in NC/Hickory area, so maybe it was something used in that area. I kinda thought those were seats or could be. It was probably purchased/used in the 60s.

Re: What\'s This?
Tobacco transplanter? Come on, that is obviously a 3-pt tire-track eliminator for obscuring evidence when leaving the scene of a late-night federally-protected waterland modification project. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
How can I be wrong when I used 4 hyphens in one sentence?

Re: What\'s This?
It looks like what's left of a tobacco transplanter. I raised tobacco up until 1979. I saw some major changes from the 50's to then.
http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/historyfiction/index_files/artifacts/tfl.html open this link and go down the page and you'll see a mule drawn planter. Parts of it looks close to what you have in the farme work.
I've work with every tool you see in those pictures. Still have some of them here. That planting/tobacco peg would work a man about as hard as any thing you see there.

Re: What\'s This?
Gonna see a BUNCH of those old transplanters in that sort of shape before too long. The tobacco buyout sure changed the way people farm in Kentucky. My wife's family all grew tobacco for years. All of 'em gave it up.

Re: What\'s This?
I know what you mean. It's the same here. Farms with lines of bulk barns sitting empty last year. In the tobacco belt I'd like to see a $ figure on equipment that's no longer of any use to anyone. The price tag would be staggering. It's hard on the growers too. The ones that grew it all their lives don't know what to do now.
