A local farmer, probably with the last name of Patton, has become a magnet for all of the old agricultural implements and tools that other farmers in the area want to clear off their land. So he has improvised this display for passing tourists to stop and view.
A V-blade cultivator is a more agressive version of the large-chisel cultivator. It is used in areas where weeds grow faster, wigh stronger root systems. The agressive cut of the blade conquers even the toughest weeds.
