That is what they call them on next weeks Big Iron auction. It is obvious they are not new, but what were they used for? They are out in Nebraska.---Tee

Are they used to burn big brush piles? I have seen blowers use for that. My neighbor uses a pto driven fogger for that.
 
I wonder if they were used for drying grain back in the days before bins with air floors and "built in" fans. Jugding by the vintage of the running gears maybe drying grain in the old wooden elevators... Just guessing.

Two ideas. Were they used to dry alfalfa hay pellets in NB ?
It looks like one has a side discharge opening to blow something on a growing crop. Or a fruit tree sprayer. Pulled with a tractor along the rows of trees.??
But, my idea about an orchard sprayer does not sound rite for being in NB.
 
I see the word ‘seed’ on the one trailer. They could have been used to dry ear corn used for seed. The seed companies like to use low temperature forced air drying to avoid hurting the germination. The corn was picked at a little higher moisture to avoid kernel damage, then air dried in cribs at the seed plant. It. Isn’t be done differently today.
 
I bought a large fan like that at an auction when I had a farm in Wisconsin. It was originally used in a theater in Wausau Our barn had the cows facing in and we put in in the silo room on the end of the barn so it would blow down the middle of the barn and cool their faces. It was powerful enough so it could be felt on the other end of the barn.
 
Definitely old ear corn dryers. The one body says hybrid seed on the side. There is an old video somewhere on YouTube of a Pioneer or Dekalb farm using those things back in the late 40's but I can't find it right at this moment.
