Posted by Just Another Old Geezer on August 04, 2010 at 15:50:40 from (216.105.208.2):

I am seaking a kind hearted soul with the same love of all things old and mechanical. In 08, I was at Rollag, late the last day we visited the horse powered farm. In the upstairs of the barn I found 2 old artifacts that even my then 96 yr old father could not identify. one was just inside of the door to the right. It was some kind of cutter. the operator sat on it like the old style peddal grind stones. you feed stalks of some type down through two sets of V knifes about 6 inches apart and operated it by pushing peddals.It cut the ctalks into about 6 inch long pieces. the cutter knifes were larger than what was needed for corn.
The other was farther back by the wall. it was sime sort of grader/ separater. It was an elevator about 6 feet long with a wolven wire apron (like a chain link fence). the apron went all the way to the top, back down to the bottom, then 2/3 rds of the way back up. things that fell through both chains were dumped out on the right, things that fell only through one chain were dumped out higher on the left, that didn't fall through got dumped off of the end. I can't figure out what they used it to seperate as the holes were about golf ball sized.
We visited this farm late in the day and the batteries on my camera were already dead.
If anyone on here goes to rollag and visits the horse farm, would you be kind enough to photograph these 2 items and post the pics in hopes we can figure out what these things were used for??
Thanks much.
P.S. could find anyone operating the farm who knew what these things were ether.
