Alright, I found this on the family place, and I’m wondering what it is, and if I have a use for it...
It looks to be set up as a sled on one side, then you flip it over to work with it....? Maybe a residue chopper?

I agree with your assessment. Looks like it will chop residue and/or drive it into the dirt. Drag it around and see how it performs.

It has 3 rotating blades you can see and probably a 4th in the ground. It looks like it would have been good for cutting off corn stalks, in the days before tractors and bushhogs. Hook up to a mule and pull it right down the row. Back then farmers used to bundle corn stalks into shocks to feed cows during the winter.

Google "Antique corn stalk chopper" for a video on Machinery Pete for a similar rig
Some other comments in a different thread had an old fella mention that they were really to chop cotton stalks and were fairly common down south. Early 1940s vintage as later ones were 5 blades
