Someone had managed to gather together about 60 farm implements and wagons and has decided to put them on display. The vast majority of the farm implements are very old horse drawn machines. The collection includes plows, cultivators, harrows, discs, mowers, corn planters, farm wagons, potato diggers and planters, a hay loader, a manure spreader and three road graders. The display is immediately north of Highway 37 and 1.2 miles west of Highway 93 which runs through Eureka and north to the Canadian border. The site appears to be accessible 24/7/365, at no charge.
A riding implement like a sulky plow, this can't be called a plow as it has a double share which turns the soil outward in two directions simultaneously. The only use I can see for it is to make a furrow, whether that be for planting a crop or for very shallow irrigation ditches.
The furrower appears to be missing some pieces, but also appears to have a power lift for the plow share, as it is mounted on an offset on the wheel axle which would, when activated, lift the share form the ground.
