Have you ever noticed that some farm implements look nicer as yard ornaments that other implements? Why is that? Like an old horse drawn sickle mower always looks nice sitting in a yard but then other implements don't such as a flat bed wagon. Maybe it's just me and what I like. Can it be that a sickle mower sat more than what it was used years ago and it's just common thru the years to see them sitting around the farmstead? Sometimes I think it's the size of the implement or whether the implement worked the soil or not. It's also amazing with the evolution of farm equipment and how it has changed the looks and layout of farmsteads from then until today. The size of the building needed to store the equipment. Years ago the one bottom plows hung on walls of the old wash house or barns and taken down when needed.

I can reply an emphatic YES to that!
We have our rusty Farmall Regular and Little Genius plow. Looks SWEET! A rusty hay loader - also looks sweet.
My husband brought up a rusty old hammer mill and set it by the silo... he liked it. I said, "I'm sorry, but it's not PURDY hon." (It no longer lives in that spot. LOL)

the lines/shadows (it not just a box/tub/blob).
the size who wants to lose half of the yard and house to a threshing machine.
availability almost every farm had a mower, and they don't rot away to a set of axels that no one will see (Like a old wagon).
See a couple of spreaders around usually under mountains of flowers.
I know about the sheds size to. The building that is now used as a "junk"/wood shed was once the shop on the farm that everything fit in, now can't even fit some of the tractors in the door. The machine shed and the new shop aren't even big enough for some of the equipment sold now days.

I have a small metal wheel barrow in the back yard as an ornament. When I cut the grass, I grab the handle on the way passed it and relocate it to ware I just cut. I have an old rider south of my garage. I just push it out of the way with my rider and then go around it. The neighbor found an old, old one bottom plow out back and had it next to the end of their driveway on a bed of crushed rock. Looked very nice.

I agree, the "planting of a set of 2 row Farmall cultivators (with rear shovels) is a confused mass of scrap metal with no appearance value at all. It even looks rather wrong on the tractor. Jim
