I found this among some items being auctioned this Saturday. The Ford model number is 22-108. It looks kind of like a tiller, but the tines aren't very long and there's a roller behind the tines. Anyone know what it is?

Your all pretty close, but what it was used for
was to beat spud vines off before harvesting. The
roller behind it rolls the spud hill sealing any
cracks preventing greening of the spuds. This model is a two row. Same type of beaters are
still used only on a larger scale, 4,6,and 8
row.

Jim,

Unless I am badly mistaken the would be a Ford 907 Flail Mower manufactured for Ford from 1962 to 1973. Actually work pretty well and can mow alot of grass yard quality fast.

I agree with Jerry. I sold a competitive make flail mower at the time. Most of the Ford flail mowers ended up parked somewhere because they were too heavy and because the flails were not individually attached to the drum. To change one flail, you had to remove a full-lenght rod and then re-attach all of the flails in that row. They definitely were not popular.

Definately Ford's "Mott" type flail mower. I purchased mine new in the early 70's for around $500. Several manufacturers sold similar mowers, among them, John Deere had them until recently. I believe that the firm "Mott" actually made them for all companies, also under their own name.

It is an early flail mower. The ones that I was familar with had a single rod to hold the flails in the brackets. If the end flail broke, you had to remove all of the flails to get to that one.

Thanks, Dick. I'd heard of a flail mower, but never seen one. That makes sense.

My guess and it's only a guess, is it some type of mowing device.

Can't tell for sure from the picture, does it have a PTO drive?

Looks awful big to be a tiller, and with the side skirts like that, it wouldn't dig very deep.

Maybe a dethatcher or aerator?

Possibly a cornstalk chopper?
