    It might have been for cement or feed , but doesnt appear to have a way to dump it. The picture is from a glass plate negative taken about 1920. Was north central Iowa.

      Wonder if it was a tree mulcher for tree branches, etc.

      An early motorized cement mixer. Turn the drum one way it mixes. Reverse the drum direction to dump.

      That is very possible but does not appear that it could come out without tipping the drum...........thanks for you idea Don
    4. slackjack, 9 years ago
      The drum does not tip. It works just like cement trucks today. They do not tip.
