I just got this from a friend. Is it a cultivator? Horse drawn? Haven't been able to find this one online anywhere. Any ideas? Wondering what it is worth as well.
This appears to be a horse-drawn chisel plow, used to rip through dirt to loosen it without turning it over or pulverizing it (in other words, it leaves top debris/nutrients in place). Please see this listing for possible value: bid.delozierauctions.com/
I found this the other day while exploring a rural property we recently purchased. The area is in the Lee River/Lac Du Bonnet municipality in Manitoba, Canada. We were told by the former owner that part of the property at one time was used for farming. They had not explored much of the 10 acres over the years so I knew there may be things left in the forest by the original homesteaders. I have absolutely no knowledge with farm equipment, past or present. 
It's a large machine and the photo that shows the dark metal "forks" is only part of that piece of the machine. These forks are on a long piece of metal, at least 3 feet in length and laid flat on frame of some sort. It is hard to really provide anything more specific as the machine is sunk into the ground quite a bit and is covered in leafs, dirt and branches. I didn't have the amount of time I wished to really investigate this find as there had been reports of bears roaming and I had gone into the bush unprepared should I encounter any wildlife. Any help would be much appreciated.
It looks like a sort of threshing machine. One photo shows the triangle-shaped cutting "teeth" that would obviously cut down the plants. Another photo shows the threshing part, that would beat down the plants to the ground after the teeth cut the stems/stalks. It is quite old, seeing those large all metal wheels. It would have been pulled by draught animals or a tractor, with another person sitting in the seat to control the machine.
Does anyone know what this is? I bought this at a local farmer's market in Michigan. It's all wood and has a small lever that expands the rounded ends.
It almost looks like a big clamp of sorts.
How tall is it?
It looks like something to stretch leather--horse saddle, hats?
It looks like a leather stitching Pony Clamp that a harness maker would use. There are many examples on Pinterest.
So cool!!
I found one that sold on eBay for 55.00 plus shipping:

Blessings!! So excited to learn something new today!!
Does anyone know what this old farm equipment is?
Does anyone know what this is and what it was used for?
My first thought was some sort of feather remover for processing poultry. Then I noticed the "hopper" on the end and now think it's some sort of grain sifter/sorter.
I think it is a old grain processor, with a crank and slot to drop the grain in!
My grandfather had a lot of old farm equipment in his garage and this one was there. It is actually an old grain hopper that the grain is put in to husk the grain and get it ready for use. The grain is dropped down the shoot at the left and then the basket is turned.
Can anyone help identify what this piece is? It is galvanized metal about 8x12 inches.
I like old stuff but I have no idea what this thing is that I found in my father-in-law's shed. Thanks!
The wheel is a pully as you can see the grove on the wheel where the belt attached to this. On the front of the box, you can see the level where the plank was moved up and down. This is a very old farm list that was used to move heavy items around.
I found this heavy piece in our backyard woods. Does anyone know what it is? There's a piece broken on it. The cross bars move together as one.
