Whirlwind terracer. Was used to build terraces around 50 to 60 years ago.
I own one, but I've never built terraces with it. I bought it on an auction for the express purpose of cleaning out and reforming waterways. The gearbox on the auger has three speeds, and in high speed it will throw dirt over 30 feet. It did a superb job of throwing dirt out of the waterways.
I recall when I was a teenager, our neighbor had quite a business built up doing custom terracing. He used a 44 Massey.
