Please identify what it is, what it was used for and where it was used/build

[DeAutogids]

Up to the experts!

Used for trimming grass verges?

Used for trimming grass verges?

Not quite what I was looking for, but you're on the right track

If not ghrass verges, was it used agriculturally?

[DeAutogids]

If not ghrass verges, was it used agriculturally?

Yes

[richard cuyler]

Used for stripping pine trees (of branches) to make poles?

[richard cuyler]

From USA?

In theory it could be used for anything. I think in this case, "used agriculturally" as from a previous question, I think is the best way to describe it.

From USA?

No

IMO the vehicle is made from a car or truck made into a grass cutting machine, it has a mould board fitted for lining the grass swath or other crops.
Interesting  that it is fitted with a truck rear axle.
May be Chrysler.

[DeAutogids]

You're not wrong! It might well be that this particular one was made for the specific job of grass cutting or similar, but the manufacturer made them for more generic agricultural applications. Indeed, it is made from a car.

It is not, however, a Chrysler.

[richard cuyler]

Citroen?

[DeAutogids]

Citroen?

Not likely.
The source does not mention the actual mechanics. Sorry.

In fact, the previous comment of "truck axle" is correct and might lead to the solution. The right question to ask is "why would they use a truck axle?"

[speedfix]

"why would they use a truck axle?"

Gearing!

[DeAutogids]

"why would they use a truck axle?"

Gearing!

Eureka - you're right.

[speedfix]

Maybe  Ford based.

Doodlebug tractor?

[DeAutogids]

Maybe  Ford based.

Doodlebug tractor?

Ford might be, though as said, the source does not reveal it.

Doodlebug? No.

[DeAutogids]

With all respect, not seeing that much progress, so I will move it up.

[Wendax]

Meili Auto Traktor?

[DeAutogids]

Very good guess. But it's not that.

[Wendax]

Is it Swiss though?
Stirnimann?

[DeAutogids]

It's not Swiss and it's not Stirnimann.

  Kaiser Autotraktor from Liechtenstein! 

[DeAutogids]

If not ghrass verges, was it used agriculturally?

I believe you answered part of the question. As such, I'll give you a point.

Kaiser Autotraktor from Liechtenstein! 

Yes, it is that. One of a couple of makers of autotraktors. Even in Liechtenstein there were more makers. Maybe something for a combo-puzzle later.

The source does not reveal the exact mechanical components, but talks about taking a second hand car (relatively cheap), some truck parts (rear axle, gears) and combine them such that you have - thanks to the extra gears - low gearing for agricultural work and high gearing such that you can drive up to quite a high speed on the road (in fact illegal, but "allowed"). Kaiser was relatively successful and made in the hundreds. The company still exists and makes very special construction equipment machinery.
