It's definitely unique. Looks like a pretty beefy hoe.

It has been years since I last saw one of those. Pretty neat find.

This is a Hopto 200. These were originally produced by Badger and even after W & S purchased them the production continued in Winona, Minnesota and the factory is still operating today as a subsidiary of Manitex.
