George that might be a cable plowing machine where an engine on each end of field . Cable used to pull plough back and fro.
Those engines worked in tandem with another to plough. The engines would drive across the headlands on opposite sides of the field and used that underslung cable
drum to pull a multi-bottom plough across the field from one engine to the other, one engine winding up its lead , while the other played out its line. When the
implement got to one end of the field, it would be reversed (most ploughs had two sets of opposite facing shares and you raised one gang and lowered the next, or
you physically tipped the entire plow, raising one set and lowering the other). Then the process went in the opposing direction as the engines slowly advanced
across the ends of the field until the entire plot was turned over.
