Crazy tools... the kind we like!

Part of the fun of this trip has been seeing old farming implements, and kicking ourselves when we passed up buying them.

Here are two we couldn't have bought, but sure enough were cool enough to merit inclusion in this blog.

First -- the bicycle-driven push mower:

You can see it was cobbled together from a push mower and an old bike. What a spiffy way to reuse two old things to create a more useful one!

Next -- well, we love all things of old tractors.  Here's a very cool, PTO-driven (Power Take Off) saw for cutting logs into lumber:

We think most things you can attach to a tractor's PTO are pretty cool. We hadn't seen one like this beofre, and it was a real treat to see this fantastic old tool.
