Can anyone date this old farm plow and give some other insight on it? There was a seat on it.
From a bit of searching I did, I think you have an antique horse-drawn cultivator. This type came into use starting in the mid 1800's. Without manufacturer's info, it's impossible to pinpoint your piece. Check over the whole thing for ANY letters or numbers, as that will help identify and date yours. Here are some links to look at to try to match yours.
This looks like your picture -an antique horse-drawn cultivator:

Here is another one like yours - a John Deere horse-drawn cultivator:

If I've identified it correctly, this machinery was pulled by a horse(or maybe a team), the farmer would sit on a seat on the machine, controlling not only the reigns for the horse(s) but also working any levers or handles for the cultivator....usually had a depth control handle to raise and lower the spades and drag tines.
I hope I'm on the right track to your piece. Really, any kind of markings you can find will help, and I'll be glad to do more searching with any further info you can give. I'll follow this, so just post back with anything else, or if you want help.
Stay safe and healthy in these trying times.
It will be very difficult for someone to correctly identify this item with this picture as the machine blends in with cultivation/leaves and just more or less 'gets lost'.
It is difficult to accurately name the brand since there does not seem to be any color left to match to a brand and several companies made similar cultivators.
It does not look like all the pieces are still attached and a different style cultivator was made for every crop as there was not single style that could do every different crop. This means there were different implements/disks on the cultivators according to the type of crop being harvested.
Normally, you could send a picture to some of the farm forums and ask for help but I do not believe this picture is clear enough for that. However, you could still try:

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.
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!
Can anyone help identify what this piece is? It is galvanized metal about 8x12 inches.
