Two Row Seed Planter
Seed Drill
When David was a little boy on the farm, he'd man a drill like this one while his father pulled it with a tractor.

I think this is part of a reaper,
but I'm not sure.

And last,
a mystery.
If you know what this is,
please share.
I will ask Doyle what the heck this is the next time we see him. He comes up our lane to let us know how much he appreciates all of David's hard work making the ranch look great. I appreciate it too.
The old farm implements make me think about all those hard working horses that pulled the equipment.

I could put that two point plow to work today! I think the last one is a seed cleaner, but I'm not sure. The light stuff would go out the top of the cyclone, and the seeds out the bottom. I'd be interested to find out.
What a treat to see all that farm equipment. It really is fun to imagine horses out working with all that farm equipment, they worked so hard. Every one did. I look forward to learning about what that last contraption is.
I love stuff like this. Great pictures and what a good idea to put all these historical pieces out there for all to see and learn from.
Thank you for caring about Samson and leaving comments for us. They mean a lot. And I feel better today.
A regular museum along that road! A lot oh history there, Terry. I have no idea what the last one is....something is stored in that mini silo though?
I collect old farm equipment and would say the last item is a hammermill. We have a much smaller hammermill we used for grinding barley into flour.
Those old reminders ate fabulous!!
That last one reminded me of something to fill up the wagon with!
Ooh, I love those old farm pieces, they evoke memories of days long gone, and hard, long days in the fields...
We have an old Oliver mower, it makes me smile sitting out there in the field :)
Lovely.

All that equipment still looks in pretty good considering how old they must be.
That last one looks like some sort of grain crusher or a machine to separate the shuck from the seeds?? I don't know.
Love seeing your beautiful landscape!
Lovely pictures and blog! Thanks for sharing!
I went to the Small Farmer's Journal Horsedrawn Auction in April and saw many beautifully restored pieces like this, most purchased for working farms. Pretty neat stuff. Some of you interested folks might want to check out smallfarmersjournal.com.
Keep up the great work!
