There were hundreds of those here in Florida up until the late 80's As late as the 70's a lot of the citrus growers here were still using orchard tractors that did not have three points. Mostly JD and Case. All of them would use a device like that to carry either an offset disc or a chopper. We called them Carryalls and quite a few were made by small local fab shops although I have seen a few that you could tell were homemade. I still see one rusting in a field or pasture from time to time but not near as often as I did 10 years ago.
One local family had a grove close by but also one one a lake some 40 or more miles away. Mr Prevatte would put the carryall behind his DO Case and then his old pickup behind the carryall and make the trip to the lake grove at least once a month. It would take him most of the day to get and most of a day to get back. The use of herbicide under the trees and microjet irrigation did away with chopping or disking in the groves in the 80's
There is no way I would make a 40 mile trip on a DO Case today in this part of Florida with today's traffic . You would be run over before you got no more than a couple of miles from the house!
