Dale C and I are stumped on what this is or used for. Looks like it might have been flipped over to use [maybe] and the skids used for transport, is our guess.

Rolling stalk chopper. You're correct in your photo it's in transport position,flip it over to chop stalks. I grew upon a farm that utilized one for chopping cotton & corn stalks.

Stalk chopper. Flip it over, put weight in the boxes and take off.

Have one just like it. Came off of my grandfather's farm in south Georgia. He used it to cut the corn stalks in after the picking was done
The fellows have it. Rolling stalk chopper. Several companies make new ones. The faster you can pull them the better they do. They actually work best on rowed crops that have been cultivated leaving a little ridge in the row. Common in irrigated cotton and corn areas.

Yep rolling stalk chopper. Dad raised DeKalb seed corn for many years. Some years
they destroyed the bull rows. DeKalab used a 9 speed IH M. Don't know what gear that
driver used but he was knocking down standing corn at a high rate of seed.

That is a later one as the earlier ones were horse drawn and for a single row, then 2 row horse drawn. The only way to get stalks through a plow was to chop them up then run a disk over then to get the stalks partly covered with dirt so they would stay down and flow through the plow. These were used before tractor PTO operated became popular. And yes stones would be hard on them. That particular model just might have a hitch point on the back to pull that disk behind it. Probably the one in the picture as it had to be that kind of disk and dsame width as the cutter.
