The tractor could be a Minneapolis Moline, narrow front end ("row tractor"). The other stuff is grain handling equipment- combine(s) of some sort. In the early days there were a lot of different approaches to the same problem. Do some googling of "images- antique farm equipment". And take some pictures after the snow melts, but before the leaves hide everything!

The top row, a Minneapolis-Moline tractor. Possibly an "R" model...?? Should be a tag on it somewhere. Those fenders look to be in decent shape yet, and worth a few bucks to the right person. Grill looks OK too... Worth way more than scrap, for those pieces.
Second row, a forage harvester, and thresher. Forage harvester almost looks like an A-C with the faded Persian Orange paint... Tag should tell you, if there is one. Thresher resembles a "Bell City". IH's early line of threshers. If you Google Bell City Thresher, there is a youtube video of a fellow threshing wheat, belted up to a Massey 44 Standard tread... It may be worth a few bucks to the right guy too, for some parts.
Third row, looks to be the remanants of a pull type combine. And believe I it looks like the beaters on a manure spreader at the bottom right.

Equipment was a lot bigger and more complicated in the past.Here's a few images.[/IMG]
that hay loader was a back saver, never used one, but i think it was pulled behind a wagon and it loaded hay onto it. my dad said when he was a kid they used an old sled and horses. they use and old dump rake to put hay in windrows and then drag the sled with horses and load hay on it as high as a man could toss it. when it was loaded they pulled a grape vine across the middle to hold it on.
