What equipment do you have for yard decoration at your place?

I've got a penguin that shows up every winter.

rrlund · Feb 18, 2013

None. I try to hide that junk out back.

Bob Bancroft · Feb 18, 2013

No picture.
Confession time.
When I was young and broke I hauled away the scrap iron piles at the home farm. Buried in one pile was a complete JD cast iron horse drawn sickle bar mower. Story was that it was parked after a hired hand lost his life as a result of injuries from it.
It would be the perfect lawn ornament with green and yellow paint on it.

Don't have anything right now but we had a Square Deal #2C road grader,pulled with a massey harris pacer, driven by rudolph and the grader was operated by santa at christmas. It was well lit up and we got lots of comments on it.

I have our old church sign that our family donated to the church and they gave it back to us after upgrading and a flagpole by it and an old peddle grindstone.

When we built the milking parlor and tore down the old milkhouse, we filled the milkhouse foundation with washed gravel and parked an old steel-wheeled MM grain drill there. My wife sometimes puts flower pots on it during the spring/summer. (sorry, no pics of it loaded on the computer)

Wife has 3 old milk cans across the front of the garage which she uses as flower pots.

Looks like it is close to the one Larry posted. Have an old road grader and early cat crawler
down by the road. Makes it easy just ell folks come to they see the grader.

We have some pasture art up near the road.

Nancy won"t let me hitch a couple of her horses to the sickle mower, but <a href="http://youtu.be/osvyzXyy0p8">she will use the dump rake</a>.

Old water pump was used in on my Grandfathers farm in Troy,IL until the farm was sold at auction in the 1980's I was able to cut it off flush to the ground and carried it with me from house to house through my life. Now I rigged it up with a fountain re-circling water pump and a underground basin. The wooden bucket is from a older well. The Case "400" is a rain gauge.

Here is my yard art:

JMS./MN · Feb 18, 2013

Two ovals and a circle made from landscaping blocks. One oval has a JD horse mower, another a walking plow. Circle is the flagpole with Old Glory and a POW flag.

JMS./MN · Feb 18, 2013

BTW- the ovals and circle camouflage the drain field vent tubes. Centers are filled with crushed rock.

Larry NEIL · Feb 18, 2013

I've got a 1948 77 LP with no hood sitting out in the side yard for a couple years....drat, I gotta remember to pull that thing up to the barn one of these days....maybe tomorrow...

Tom in NE · Feb 18, 2013

There was an elderly gentleman in Mason City, NE that had his yard filled with stuff he made out of old pieces of farm implements. I took these pictures the summer of 2001. He had since passed on and all his creations are gone.

John B. · Feb 18, 2013

I have to admit everyone has some very nice decorations.

CaseDC3 · Feb 18, 2013

John B..
Grandpa and his family farmed out just north of Blue Haven Mobil.
My Dad left the farm in the late 50's went up to Chicago to go to school, got a job in a factory, met a cute girl from the office, got married and had me in 1962. I spent every summer down there until it was sold. My aunt and her husband still live in Troy, and I have cousins that live and still farm out in Granite City and also in your town John B.

Mark-Mi · Feb 18, 2013

I made this guy 15 years ago with artistic guidance from my then 10 year old son.

David R Inman · Feb 18, 2013

My dads got a Farmall F14 and case DC sitting indefinitely in the frount yard. I don't think he pid 300 total for the pair, and he says they've about paid for them selves as jungle Jim's for my 6 nieces and 1 nephew.
Also got a pair of horseshoe butterfly's in the yard, and a inexpensive windmill similar to harbor freights 8ft, with a small pump hanging underneath.

farmerjohn · Feb 18, 2013

The wagon sits out in the yard part of the summer and shedded the rest of the year. My youngest son posing by the plow, and the driveway alarm posing by the dump rake. The roots behind the plow is a virgin pine stump that was pulled by my grandfather with a stump machine in the 1920's and pulled to the edge of the field to make a stump fence. Not the best pictures, just picked a couple on file.

Paul from MI · Feb 18, 2013

I'm still using all of that stuff!

Jeff B. · Feb 18, 2013

I've made eight or nine of these including an owl, crane, shorebird, and several as yet un-named species.

Dalet · Feb 18, 2013

Mine is pretty lame compared to the others.
Here is my H with a plow. It's the first tractor I "owned", I am 43 BTW.
It was my feed grinder tractor for many years until I quit pigs. My lack of Christmas lights is comical!

RusselAZ · Feb 18, 2013

All I've got now is a farm supply store 8 ft windmill. Been there for 30 years. Have to grease the wheel a couple times a year but I don't have to climb it.
