1890 FLORIDA POLE BARN, INSIDE, HAY CUTTER
This HAY CUTTER is an early version of a riding lawn mower, I think it was 2 horsepower, pulled by 2 horses. Instead of just cutting a lawn it cut hay to feed and bed farm animals. Stored inside a Pole Barn, a barn without walls was usually built from pole saplings supported by large logs with a roof of palm fronds or cedar shakes. It provided shade from the sun and protection from the rain for farm tools and animals.
