Not a vintage item but certainly interesting, well I thought so. 25 seconds in the video shows it working without cover in place.

That type of machine has been very popular in Europe for quite a few years. For those of you in the groundcare trade you will undoubtedly recognise the basic chassis as the one used/copied on the Verti-Drain series of deep spikers which are very popular over here at the moment.
