Want to sell but I dont know what it is called



I also don't have any idea what it is worth.
The yellow implement. Not my old dump truck... Any guidance is appreciated.
 
Nope it isn't and I don't appreciate the inference. I am looking for help to identify this old equipment so I can figure out what it is worth so I can sell it. I am a famer, I assume just like you. If you aren't willing to help, please keep your accusations to yourself.
 
A yellow hunk of metal is all I can make out, and I'm assuming it's metal can't really tell that! Is it straight coulters, or a packer of some sort?
Can't even guess.

You need a better camera for the ads, your pics are very small and blurry.

As well, you could place the link to your pics in the 'optional image' space below where you type the message, and then it would be easier to
click on. I know this web site is a tad different than some, but it has neat features once you learn them. (Maybe you are doing that - at times this
site has a bit of difficulty with pics......)

Looks like an Air Way field airator to me. Similar to a plug airator for lawns. Star shaped times that set at a slight angle to cut slots in the ground for airation and drainage. No till guys around here use them. That one looks pretty small, but someone would want it.

This Internet stuff isn't for the weak of heart. ;)

15 years ago there were all sorts of interesting web forums around. I saw many of them fade away and disappear, ruined by 'for sale' and 'I
want work' ads smeared all over them. Lost the intrest when you have to filter out the few good messages from the chaff.

So I won't fault anyone for wanting to protect this site by calling a message that is tilled 'I want to sell....' an ad.... That sure looks and feels like
an ad, your intentions might have been different but where does a person draw the line? Step back and look at the issue from a distance and
maybe you will see where folks are coming from.

at the same time we need to be nice to newer users, and folks not so familiar with the ways of the Internet. I'm sure you meant things well, just
oops worded things a little off. No need to jump on you either - come enjoy the fun here and be part of us all.

This site has been around a long time and been run well. It used to have real strict rules, it's lightened up a lot the past 5. The operators of it
have been very accomidating to have both a 'new' interface and 'old traditional' way of looking at the messages and pictures, which takes quite
a bit of work on their part, basically programming the site two different ways. It does make posting pics a little different, depending which
version of software you are using, old or new. Generally it works well but there is a hiccup now and then. Basically they are accomidating old
stuck in the mud folk like me by keeping the 'old traditional' software side up and running.

Good luck with your equipment, a lot of old stuff like your disks are neat and useful and hobby folks with a couple acre deer plot will really enjoy
using them; but just not any big collector value or 'rare' value on most of it. It's a shame really, lot of this stuff won't ever be seen again once it
gets cut up and hauled to China blast furnaces..... No one makes that size and quality equipment any more, when it's gone it's gone.

You really have me curious on what that yellow implement is, hope you get back to us with a clearer pic or a follow up when you find out.

Good luck with it all. :)

It is an Aer-Way made in Canada accroding to the tag. I am attempting to use the upload photo at the bottom of the page
 
Paul,
Thank you for your reply. I am a member of several 2 stroke vintage bike forums and moderator on one. I was not and am not attempting to circumvent any rules in place or post anything in the wrong place. I am asking for help identifying some of Daddy's old equipment that we no longer use on my beef cattle farm so I can sell or scrap it. We dont do any row crops and havent for years. We grow and make hay to feed the cows and calves and we sell the babies at 9 months at the local feeder calf sales and the cycle repeats itself. The plows, discs, hay and grain elevators, corn planter and grain drill all appear to be operable, but in need of servicing. I have been trying to research what they are and what they are worth so I can assign a value to them. I suppose I could have titled my thread better. I am not accustomed to being accused of rule breaking on the other forums I frequent and moderate. A simple moved this thread to the classifieds or for sale section would have sufficed. I am glad to be a member here and this forum has already helped me in the recent purchase of my 1944 Farmall A from a fellow forum member who advertised it in the classifieds. Henceforth I will be more careful with my wording. Thanks for your candor.
 
That has some spinning star wheels sunk deeply and long time in the dirt.

It's scrap iron if they are mostly rusted tight. Takes more work and cost to fix all those bearings up than to find a good used one somewhere.

If all the bearings are free and spin nice, it's a cool tool for very lightly loosening and working up dirt. Not very popular in my clay and rocks, but
a slick deal in the right area.

So I wouldn't know the value, but it sure looks like that one will be in rough shape and expebsive to make good. I could be wrong.

Sometimes that old stuff is made out of virgin iron that doesn't rust the way 'new' stuff does, and they used oil soaked sleeves instead of
bearings. Old farmers slathered grease on the moving parts, and even in the dirt, all that grease sometimes protects the old pieces pretty good
and they start working again with not too much effort.

Never know.

If it were me I would keep the airrator, it may come
in handy to run over some pastures that may need a
little help once in a while, plus it don't cost you
anything to keep it.

Grounds care guys would be most interested in that. Price a new one and go from there.

I would second that.

Good to rejuvenate a tired pasture. run it over in the fall, then frost seed in new grasses.
 
If you have a use for it you'd most likely be better off to keep it as things like that don't bring much at the auctions I go to.Generally the bidding will fizz out around $100.
 
I would not sell it if I had pasture or hay land. Look at the images on Google and notice what kind of slits it makes in turf. To me they look just right for overseeding. I would like to have one.

Tim, it's extra steps but I email phone pics to my home computer. Then file them in proper folders. Then they aare available for upload as you browse them in YT forum.
