Looks to me a Golden Chain Tree (not Golden Rain), Laburnum. There's a couple species, I've normally seen the hybrid cultivar 'Vossi' available commercially.

Decent ornamental, pretty when in bloom (yellow flowers in May) but not a whole lot beyond that besides being a legume.

Yep, that's it some kind of labornum, and it appears to be poisonous, too bad, ill end up throwing it off in some corner away from any foraging chickens. Thanks for the help!
 
Farmers know to never drive a tractor near a honey locust tree. But a tiny ad is okay:
