Some of ya'll were close, some right... Most people that have seen it think it is a tiller or a clod-beater. Actually it is a Mott 88" Hammer Knife Mower, AKA a "Flail Mower". It looks rough but it has new bearings and knives. It cuts like a hybrid between a bushhog with sharp blades and a finishing mower. I have the coarse blades on it, which leave a slight "tepee" effect. There are fine knives that will rival finishing mowers. Have not burried if down in tall stuff yet, I may not have enough grunt. Alamo (bought out Mott) recommends 51HP, I have 48HP. I am going to practice preping and painting this before I tackle the tractor. Gotta see how my paint gun works out. Thanks participating in the "quiz".
I plan to build a hydraulic grapple to mount onto the bucket for moving brush. I am getting my 50 acres cleared this summer and a grapple would be nice to slean up the windrows after I burn them. The bucket is fairly HD for this size loader, I think the bucket is close to 500 or 600 lbs (6ft), I would have to look at the specs.
As for potato country, I do not think so. Some farmers quit row cropping and are growing sweet potatos (yams) and doing well. Mostly we have corn, beans, cotton, milo (sorguhm), wheat, some oats, and cattle in my area of Northwest Louisiana. South Louisiana has sugar cane and rice.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
