On a chilly, hilly ride with David today this old piece of equipment stopped us in our tracks for a closer look. It's a horse drawn grader! An Internet search revealed it is probably from the early 1900s, a time when several mid-western companies produced them. The controls allowed the operator to adjust the angle of the bite as well as the attack angle of the blade. It was a cool example of engineering design from the era.
