For once I actually am familiar with some "odd" object pictured on the forum.

The subject of opaul's picture is a wheel off of a rotary hoe, a farm implement I used to use when working my father's farm as a boy. A rotary hoe has two rows of these, the purpose of which is to break up the top couple of inches or so of hard, crusted soil, which hinders the emergence of recently planted corn or soybeans. To work properly the hoe has to be pulled through the field with the tractor in "road gear"(high speed). That was fun, but turning on the ends of the field could be a tad adventuresome if one wasn't careful.


Back to topic; great pictures folks!
