A special thanks to Elizabeth Swaine for sharing this June 6, 1942 photo of her father John Swaine Jr. and her grandfather John Swaine Sr. taking up hay on the Swaine farm in Royal Oak, Maryland! Farming techniques have certainly changed since then! That is quite an interesting-looking piece of equipment!

Looks like a pea picker/harvester. Maybe adopted for haying.
