When I took the picture, I just assumed it was an old horse drawn manure spreader. There were "beaters" on the back that don't show in the picture. However, the more I look and think about it, why would the driver's seat be at the rear of the implement?
Any help would be appreciated.

The seat placement doesn't fit the manure spreader design. If "beaters" were under the seat it might fit the rock picker or earth-mover concept.

That my friend is a manure spreader. It had a wood slat floor and the front of the spreader moved back with the floor. When it was empty you would crank the entire works back to the front. I have one just like it out in Kansas I need to get home.

Thank you Paul and Old Iron. You seem pretty sure of yourself and manure spreader was my first instinct. I hope to get to talk to the owner and get her/his story. Maybe they'll even think of letting it go since it's obviously been neglected for a very long time. Notice the tree of about 8" diameter that's growing right up through the front wheel.

On mine the front does not move, never did. The floor is wood slat, whole floor does move. Mine the front wooden cross bean was replaced with a channel iron, & hitch rotted off twice. Otherwise pretty much original.

That is, of course, originally a horse-drawn John Deere manure spreader. I've got one just like it, works great for spreading corn cobs from the sheller with the moving floor.

And, of course, the seat was moved for some reason! :) :) Mine has the seat removed, but the foot rest is still up front.

sorta looks like this here one is a version of the earlie model aft driven or retained saddle series. this series was very popular due to the operator being closer to the ground when pulling wheelies sometimes known as holeshots. papapa claimed these manuvers were sometimes neccessary when expediantly leaving crack houses or opium dens. before u ask,,,i hate to say yes he did have a monkey on his back altho generally u couldnt see it due to the fact it was usually down somewhere in the thingamabob either masterbating or eating banannas which were sometimes known as monkey chow

It certainly looks like a manure spreader. Must be that someone has modified it for another use. What that could be is anyones guess. Society has developed some quite weird and wonderful machines, even in the day of the horse drawn manure spreader.

My friends over on the Tales board are running pretty strong toward some kind of road building/maintaining implement and I must say they're swaying me, too. The next time I'm in the area I will look harder, take more pictures and, if possible, talk to the owner.

You wont get any arguments from here on road equipment. One thought I had was using as shreading and spreading straw on items like strawberries or other beded crops needing winter cover.
