It sounds like a hay rake...for breaking up the bales and moving it to the feed trough or stalls.

Possibly a rake. Like a bigger version of the garden tool used for pulling weeds.

I think you're going to have to get a picture of it and link to it. This sounds like too many things.
Here's one link I found to a dealer in old farm equipment as antiques:

You could call them and describe it. They might even buy it.
You should go on Yahoo! image search and search on "antique farm tools."

Potato fork. Potatoes are planted in mounds and the fork was pushed in the base of the mound and using a rocking motion it loosens the soil and brings the potatoes to the surface.

I have seen them with a longer handle too. They used them for raking hay and straw. Like if you want to pull it towards you.

It might be called a McCloud.
