Thought it might be a bale loader, just didn't look quite right.

Haypoint, Thts a McCormick-Deering manure spreader, same as mine. I have the foot boards, but not the seat. I know what it looks like. It could be flipped forward when loading so as to get a full load without putting any of the soft stuff on the seat, then flipped back to drive out with horses.

Crazy! Never saw a circular one like that before.
