It is an old, steel wheeled, grain drill- so it could be used to seed oats, barley, wheat, rye, etc. What we call "small grain". Technically, a grain drill can be used to plant corn, but for many reasons, it is not used for that purpose. Corn does well only when planted at a very uniform depth. Grain drills do not do that. That is why farmers use two different machines for those crops. By looking at it, I would guess it is very narrow, maybe 8 feet wide? If it is complete, it could be used to seed grain. Your idea of yard art is very good- many people would appreciate seeing that. To ID- look for any markings on it, especially on the metal parts for casting numbers/letters, JD, IHC, Moline, Oliver Superior, etc. Many times the ID is on the "end plates" of the grain box- collectors buy them and sell them to theme restaurants, etc. Regarding price- for a parttime or fulltime farmer, the price is squat!- considering how many other options he has to buy a machine that he can use. Your market is yard art. I sold a couple of working Moline drills, circa 1955, for about $250. Half as old, rubber tires, grass seeders, etc. Advertise yours for a few hundred bucks- can always come down.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
