Cattle crush and decent race as handling cattle is simple now.
Wife loves the self propelled milk Pasteurizer as saves carrying milk to calfs and saves carrying water buckets as well and she also thinks the world of her volume washer
 
Acrobat! pleasure to rake and a ingenious design

I think a good stilson wrench must be the best because.
It's usually the tool of last resort when all fancy ideas have failed and it's now personal between you and the f**king nut/shaft/whatever and you'll show it who's boss and if that fails you'll get a length of pipe on it and then gas it. And breath.
Real therapy and stress releas.
You can also beat the sh!t out of most things with one as well.

Some additions:

He-Va Tip roller with seeder
Anvil and small sledgehammer. I had to spread some chain links wider since they've stretched during the years and a bolt wouldn't fit through. I gave a good old banging to the sucker and now the bolt fits.
