Have you ever seen anything like this before?
Let’s play a little game! Make your best guess as to what this is in the comments. (Sorry neighbor lady, you can’t tell the answer!) I will randomly chose a winner from those who give the correct answer. If no one gives a correct answer I’ll chose a winner from all the comments. 🙂
Winner will receive an order of two bars of homemade goat milk soap from Wild Heaven Farm.

The answer is no. I have never seen anything like that before. 🙂 But it does remind me of the watering systems in the fields out here, just moving along the gravel road instead of watering, as if it is on the way to a new field.
Looks like part of a pivot being moved by flatbed truck and 4wheeler/tractor? Big piece of pipe that’s for sure.
Isn’t that a mobile irrigation system? Looks pretty familiar to me!
Totally guessing here but I am guessing that someone forgot to set a “stopper” for the irrigation. I know nothing though about farming. not.a.thing
Looks like one of those big sprinkler…thingies to me. But I’ve never seen one being pulled by a truck; I’ve only seen them rolling through a field or just sitting there waiting for watering time.
Are you just wanting us to identify the pivot, or did something go wrong that I’m not seeing? (I know nothing about irrigation, sadly.)
It’s a picture of an irrigation pivot.
I would say that they are fixing the pivot wheel on the circular watering system.
Not even a clue…I am just glad to have a minute to come and check out your blog. 🙂 How do you homeschool your big family and not pull your hair out? I am almost bald and I only have one…:)
I’m thinking some sort of watering system. Maybe??? LOL
It’s a circular watering system. The flatbed side stays put, you hook it up to your irrigation pipe and the other side moves around the field watering the field. Since it’s attached at one point and pivots, it goes in a circle with the pole being the radius.
it lookes like a farmer moving his sprinkler system. it obviously didn’t work in the field he had it. 🙂
some sort of portable watering/sprinkler system?
I have never seen a pivot being moved in such a fashion! 🙂
Boys are so good at making do without or making it up and then calling it good!
(and who would have thought of the combo of a flatbed/quad?! Not I says the woman!)
A unique sprinkling/irrigation system.
It’s irrigation pipe being moved in a VERY creative fashion. I can’t wait to hear the story.
Farm sized sprinklers!
Looks like an inventive way to move pipe!
I didn’t read through prior comments, so someone probably said what I am guessing, but it looks like a truck moving a pivot (to a new location?), and some lucky duck gets to steer the pivot. You Nevadans have all the fun!
It is a truck moving a center pivot section. It looks like the back portion is hooked to a tractor to help with the steering as the center pivot wheels don’t rotate.
Isn’t it one of those big farm sprinklers?
why that is part of an irrigation system that farmers use to water their crops!
It is two guys from your farm moving part of the pivot water system possibly to another area to either begin watering or being set aside to begin swathing. I love goat milk soap, by the way! 🙂
I think it’s some kind of sprinkler for the fields.
I agree with SuperPi’s explanation of a pivoting irrigation system. I am a city girl and have only seen those on my trips through Nevada and Utah. Those goat soaps look good enough to eat!
I think it is an irrigation system for watering crops or whatever. HOpe that I’m right!:0)
It is a pivot. I have never seen someone move it like that before though. My guess is they are moving the pivot somewhere else using a very ingenuitive way.:)
Where I’m from, that’s just “the boys out movin’ the water”! 🙂
I’m going with watering system. I am thrilled you love their soap! It’s my favorite.
It is a piece of a pivot that is being moved. I am not sure of the real name for the thing that drives the back but we saw some come up our driveway a coulpe of months ago and thought they would be fun to ride in.
I think it is a wheel line pivot. We have a wheel line that is not a pivot on our little hay farm.
It’s a pipe for irrigation
I’m not sure if you’re referring to the sprinkler system or not, but that’s really all I see. Sprinklers. =)
Isnt that used to water crops? Not sure about the technical name…Or used to spray fertilizer?
Its a field watering system for crops. I believe I’ve seen these in the cotton fields of Arkansas.
It looks like a watering system for crops. Possibly a circular one? The soap looks beautiful!
Well, I see sky, field, mountains, farm equipment and utility poles. I do not know much about farm equipment but I do know a beautiful sky when I see it!
And, at first glance, I thought that brown goat soap was chocolate. It sure is pretty.
tumbleweeds. maybe you are not even going with the whole pivot thing?
I see an accident waiting to happen?
I certainly hope not, but I do see a view that I would certainly love to see every day!
