Whirlwind terracer. Was used to build terraces around 50 to 60 years ago.
I own one, but I've never built terraces with it. I bought it on an auction for the express purpose of cleaning out and reforming waterways. The gearbox on the auger has three speeds, and in high speed it will throw dirt over 30 feet. It did a superb job of throwing dirt out of the waterways.
I recall when I was a teenager, our neighbor had quite a business built up doing custom terracing. He used a 44 Massey. My cousin did a demo with one at the local county fair a few years ago, and he also used a 44. I ran mine with a D19 Allis, and I got some diesel smoke on occasion, so they do take a few ponies.
Mine was built off of an IH plow frame. It had a mechanical lift when I bought it. I had an IH 3-16 plow that my father had abandoned when he was still living and farming, and I transferred the hydraulic lift brackets, etc. onto the terracer.
I think I'll try to use it to form the driveway to my new shop. It should work good to throw dirt together for a slightly raised driveway.
