[AT] unidentified horse drawn equipment

[Dean Van Peursem]

John,

This may sound like an oversimplification, but was it a small rotary hoe? However, I don't remember
rotary hoes being around during the horse era and whether horses could pull one fast enough. But
anyway that is what comes to mind with the description you have provided.

Subject: [AT] unidentified horse drawn equipment

 While on a family outing at a pumpkin farm, I briefly saw a horse drawn 
piece of machinery I couldn't identify. It is built similar to a stalk 
cutter but instead of a large drum with straight blades, there are 2 or 3 
rows with star shaped discs. The rows of discs are straight, not angled like 
a harrow. It looks sort of like it is some sort of an aerator. It is a bit 
east of me so that puts it on the edge of peanut and cotton growing regions. 
Any ideas?
