What is it?

Beside the barn you'll see a manure spreader, dump rake and mower. The machine with the four white wheels and 2 red beams. Can you ID it. I've seen several hundreds but none like this one. Photo was taken in Newfoundland.

I believe it is sulky for horse drawn machinery, probably a baler as there is haying equipment there. I have saw the Amish use some similar as this for corn binders and balers and other heavy tools, probably for a four horse hitch from the look of the length of the tongue.

Since there is a wooden sign next to it and that the stuff looks like a display, walking a few feet to read it would have given you the explanation you require here.

That "sign" is the backboard of one end of a horseshoe pit. Why the constant snide remarks?

I was going to say for getting logs out of the woods. But I don't know what the pole on the back set of wheels would be for. Very interesting tho.

It's not a sign It's plain see your a city slicker and know nothing about farm life.

Horse shoe pit because of the metal pole in front?
It is a possibility, as mine. Still this is a museum display and the explanation was there.

Thanks MT. He is a very annoying creature. Saw someone bragging about the PITA's leaving and wondered why he was still here.

Well that comment certainly makes you as big a fool as your avatar suggests. Especially when the other end of the horseshoe pit is as clearly visible as your "sign".

MT. I could call you any name too but I abstain because there is no point. You notice something I did not, that is for sure. That it makes me a fool is your opinion, as everything else.
Instead of leaving this alone and let it go as after all, why answer a 'snide' fool??? You select to disturb this thread. So far 5 posts off topic. How many more before this dies down? This is my last because right now you are more annoying than I ever was.
I still maintain that the explanation was there, just for the asking or reading as I am not convinced about the horse shoe ring and this being a local museum display.
To the OP:
You have my apologies, not for the initial post but for what came after.

I think it is possibly two of the same devices sitting face to face. As a singe device it is just too big for a horse drawn machine. But you are right, it is a weird one.

Not sure but it's connected by a series of rods so its 1 piece of equip, possibly to bundle hay, as there is a sycle style cutter, a hay rake sitting there and the manure spreader.
Granddad had all of the above except for the piece in question. thats one I haven't seen or used .
