Passed a collection of old farm equipment a few days ago. Here are
a few shots, some I have no idea what they are.

Items no. 1 and 2 are from 100's of years in the future and presented as they looked a hundred years ago. (Think "back to the future") 
No. 3 is the throw bucket from a drag line, it would indeed be used at a gravel pit.
The tractors are of course still in fine working condition, though a tune up might be helpfull.
All said with tounge firmly planted in cheek!! Nice set, you found a treasure trove.

I had a reply all typed out till my cat decided she had to sit on the keyboard and closed Chrome.
1 & 2 is a corn silage chopper and blower. Corn shocks were thrown onto the feed way and fed into the chopper then blown up the tube into the silo.
Corn shocks were cut with a corn binder and resembled a tall oat shock. They had to be stood up by hand in the field, loaded on the hay rack by hand and unloaded by hand.

Thank you Bruce. I usually get shots of old equipment with a telephoto lens, these pieces you could walk right up to.
Will be back with some macro lenses, took these with a 24-120mm.

Thank for stopping in for a look Ken. Great information on the first two. I have some
other shots of some unique equipment but would like to go back early in the morning
when it is not overcast.
