I cannot tell from this angle if it is directly in front of the tractor or offset to run in front of the mower. Assuming the latter, I'll hazard this guess: it's some sort of gizmo to flush out animals or birds that might be hiding in the grass so they don't get caught by the mower.

But maybe it's just coincidence that's it's mounted on the tractor at the same time as the mower. In that case it could drag on worked ground as a kind of row marker.

Or who knows. Those are my two guesses at the moment. In any case it's a sharp looking tractor.
 
Jeremy, I think you are right about flushing animals.

It looks like it swings over to the side of the mower when in use.
 
It's a Fergie in Afghanistan!

That's what they hang on the front of military tanks to detonate land mines.....

Hey Tom, maybe you could patent something like this for 'an anti-bird strike device'.
I saw these before on TV, I guess the queen had a couple in Scotland- but i thought it was to flush them up... for an easier shot by the Arch Duke of Kaffiristan... not to keep them out of the sickle bar.
I had a turkey go into the mower conditioner once. He didn't taste that good at all...
 
Pretty cool. Never seen one before.

But - When I was a kid - One of our coonhounds got their tail shortened by a sickle mower. So I can see some value in it.
