Reposition that radiator and it might make a pretty good demolition-derby doomsday machine.

Pretty sure that’s a transformer that goes by the name of Bumblebee. He’s had better days.

Ditch witch? Is that a cutter?

I saw it near the equipment sheds on a large farm. I was thinking maybe it maybe positioned poly-pipe for irrigation, but I was way off.

It's a shaker. It shakes the trees, nuts fall to the ground so they can be harvested.

Believe it’s a tree shaker for harvesting nuts. It’s missing the end that contacts the tree trunk. Hammerdown, beat me to the punch…..😁

Yep, but I hadn't seen one with the arm folded back like that.

Looks like all the parts are there. Look at all the photos.
Take care.

We have a winner. The farm includes about 130ac of pecan orchard. I'm assuming it operates somewhat like the one shown below. Trying to sort it out without seeing it in action had me stumped.

When Troy Landry on Swamp People talks about a "tree Shaker" they look way different.

Do you place a tarp down to collect the nuts?

I pulled tarps around a bit for the local pecan farmer as a kid, but now they have some machine which blows the nut's around or vacuums them up. Not quite sure. They still do tarps around fences and ditches probably.

Didn’t I see Mike Rowe use one of them on “Dirty Jobs”? That was my first thought on looking at the photos. 7mm

No kidding…I’d fumigate it with a half dozen bombs and then torch it. 😂
