At the front of the collection, just off the highway, are a pair of John Deere Sulky plows, similar yet quite different.

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.
This, the one nearest the highway, appears to be the older of the two, having a frame with rounded ends, while the other has a rectangular frame. The two are otherwise nearly identical in layout with an operator's lever on the left to raise and lover the share and another on the right allowing alignment of the rear wheel. This allows the operator to specify where within the furrow the wheel will run. The right hand lever on this plow is broken and it is missing its seat. Neither have coulters, again indicating that they're fairly early models.
