It looked quite interesting in the evening glow ,as we got back to the car -- but what is it and what is it used for ? We were in a hilly sheep terrain !! The Metal part could be a sort of a trailer then there was a wooden crate with a great big bundle of hessian backed material -- what is it ? what is it used for ? Anyone know !!
We have had a look but not much idea except that perhaps something to do with shearing...it's that time of the year & the shorn wool is collected in big sacks like these. Not sure why they would be outside though unless it's there to be collected.
Can`t see it clear . Has it wheels ? No ? Than I think it`s a crate to collect a harvest. Or to supply seeds . The iron works are then to connect it to a tractor or lorry (car)
@happypat Pat -- your answer makes sense - as we were on NAT TRUST land with sheep roaming around . And as a child I remember going with my dad ( who was not a farmer ) to help in a local farm ! and I would help the farmers wife prepare the lunch and lay the long kitchen table . In those days shearing was done by hand and neighbouring farmers went to help one another in shearing time .such community feeling among the village !
Beryl, I could hardly believe, after pondering this object and coming to no answer, when I read that you were asking us to help identify it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
@quietpurplehaze LOL indeed !! too much sunshine this afternoon Hazel or dare I say -Senior moment !! -- the latter comes my way quite often especially when tired !!
Hubby (who knows just about everything (lol)) says its just a trailer that that a tractor can back up to and put it on the hydraulic lift and then away! Lovely summery feel to this!
