Several unidentified implements

[DHB]

I've had several unidentified implements lying around the property for several years and I've wondered what they are. The previous owner of the property acquired the land around 1948 and died sometime in the 1970s. His widow would pass in the 1980s and their kids would sell the estate in 1992 to my parents. The property was loaded with tons of scrap steel including old motorcycles, an old IH flat bed truck, other worthless odds and ends, and only a few things were left behind including a long metal conveyor, and a few other very heavy easily identifiable pieces.

The first one is some sort of cultivator. It might be something that was cobbled together by the former owner of the property. I'm thinking it might be several old horse drawn plows of some sort, but I'm not really well versed in the identity of these things. No markings to identify manufacturer. Any ideas?



















This one actually has a plate that is stamped "IH270" - A google search shows nothing with that result other than modern equipment.






Most of it worthless to me, but I might decide to do something with the cultivator this coming winter as a project. I really don't have the ability to lift much less haul away the bigger stuff.

Thanks!

Feed mill?

That roller stuff buried in the ground sure is interesting, wonder what that was.

Just a guess, but I wonder if that welded up piece could be a
cattle guard. It looks very strong built.

If that was pulled lengthwise over tilled ground, it would give a finely pulverized, firm seedbed for small seeded vegetables. Kinda like what they call a Meeker harrow in South Jersey, but heavier.

That deal with the discs would make a nice seedbed if its as heavy as it looks

I think the first piece would be a one row cultivator. The second piece could be a couple things. First thought is a cultipacker of some sort, second thought is that it could have been a part of a wheel (roller) conveyor. Third piece appears to be a hammer mill feed grinder by what the internal parts look like. It could have been flat belt driven or maybe part of a mill/mixer. Just some thoughts. Paul

Or pull behind a plow and pulverize the clods.

Something along those lines, but Ive never seen such a thing.

Now that you mention it, it does look the right size to follow a two-bottom plow.

Chipper! looks like the industrial plastics regrinder ! I for injection molding operations

Got me on the what the Disc cultipacker , more like industrial conveyor to reduce contact to hot work , dont think it was with glass making

Have dig out out before it returns to dirt

I know I did not see any signs of a disk or cultipacker. What I think they were thinking was that is I think a roller conveyer for level moving of boxes or the like.
