Step inside, walk around and in any direction you’ll look, there’s old agricultural and horticultural equipment. Like an eclectic collection of tillers and small two-wheel tractors with a tillage implement (like this 1988 BCS). Plus an endless variety of small tools and some interesting home built items, like a diesel powered mini-/midibike.
A French Bruneau motor plough, dating back to the late twenties. Now let’s move on to the numerous tillers and 1,001 other items.
Now Not available at your local IKEA-store.
Diesel powered, home built bike. The engine came from a cow milking machine. When running, it actually sounds like a Harley.
This sculpture is called The Crashed Hako.
The scenery after a snow storm.
Out in the open again. Many, many thanks to the owner, collector, keeper and creator!
And where is this located? It reminds me of Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska.
Central Netherlands.
Further proof Im getting old I recognize some of that stuff nice bar stools.
That’s quite the collection, I didn’t know there was such a variety of rototillers, although the larger ones at ground level look more like modular two wheel tractors with tiller attachments, For instance this Gravely listed in The Netherlands https://www.mascus.com/grounds-care/used-two-wheel-tractors/gravely-professional-16/6k9kerim.html
Although the walk-behind type is still readily available, (professional) horticulturists and growers here prefer a tiller attached to one of their compact tractors.

We called them rotary hoes in Australia, I spent some time operating these as a kid on my Dads small farm.
Here’s one I found a few years ago.

Must be a one-off.
Fantastic .

Thanks Johannes for documenting all this great machinery. Not all classics transport people just as not all curbs are concrete. Rather these classics transport seeds and till their own curbs. Your first image of the floating power implements shifted my brain into overdrive. The artist Sandy Skoglund immediately came to mind. Your article is exactly what I needed to help recharge my creative battery after this winter. The artist that created this museum would appear to be my creative or spiritual doppelganger.
Pic puts me in mind of the washroom at a coffee house (literally) in Portland, name of Rimsky-Korsakoffee House. One picture won’t do it justice, so see what I mean here.
Noticing the artistic aspect. Good!
next episode of texas chainsaw massacre to be filmed here!
Love old farm equipment. Quite the collection here.
What a killer place. I too like old engines and farm equipment.
Lol! That Rimsky-Korsakoffe bathroom is designed to scare the #%/! out of you.
