I would have to say it's some kind of tool for picking hay at a farm. It most likely attaches to a pulley system or a crane of some type.
ReplyPull the rope to open it and let go to grab the hay. The ring at the top attaches it to the pulley.
I agree with Robert, but I'd guess its used to pick up blocks of ice and not something like hay.
ReplyIt's a bit more complicated than the ones I've seen before, but it looks like ice tongs (for delivery blocks, cut to a uniform size). It has the same weight/pincer functionality as the simpler 'scissor' models, at any rate.
ReplyDefinitely a hay spike. Used to grab hay bales for elevation into the hayloft. Would be swung from a pulley attached to that beam you often see sticking out of the peak of a barn. Pull the ropes shown to release the bale - dropping the unit down on a bale sets the spikes.
ReplyI fisrt thought it was for carrying gravestones, but hay makes more sense.
ReplyI'd bet on the hay bale lifter, too.
ReplyIt is used to carry blocks of ice
