Maybe some sort of vegetable picker?

Something that has to be laying at or near the surface.

Maybe sweet potatoes?

Potato digger was my first thought, never seen one like it though.

Probably for something else.

Cab you get a picture that doesn't involve fake book? I'm not on there. Just wondering if it's a sugar beet lifter from what you're saying.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't have a device to dig anything out of the ground. It has a horizontal auger looking thing that runs along the ground and a conveyor shoot going back over the tractor that resembles a corn picker conveyor shoot.

Is it for cleaning up grain off a flat storage pad or floor?

It is a silage loader they used in a pit silo years ago worked good. It would fill your feed wagon .

Looks like ear corn or like you said sugar beets.

IT COULD BE RAISED UP HIGH AND BROGHT DOWN AS THE SILAGE WAS BEING LOADED.

It's in Dobson, NC. Price is $1,200 for it and the Farmall M tractor.

Another vote for silage defacer/loader. It would have been nice if the guy would have posted pics of the decals on the elevator.

He should take that contraption off and take it to the scrap yard, then ask $1500 for the bare tractor.

or get it "restored" enough to take to shows. I bet it would get a lot of attention. Attached implements get that reaction lately. Might need a lowboy to haul it though.

Ya, that's the Dickens or it with something like that, hauling it.

I do not know, but I think you need it.

It would certainly get the attention at the shows. The bigger & more obscure, the better.
