    Was thinking of adding a small horse drawn grader to my operation to plow snow, or work on landing n roads for log trucks to get in.. Wondering if on a small grader a team would do to plow snow, and three abreast or unicorn to work dirt or spread stone? Thanks, steve

    Steve ,
    I have an buddy who has a pioneer fore-cart with a blade for the back and that thing is great . He plows snow with it , spreads gravel ,and a lot more around his farm. He told me he really likes his and a good chore team is all he uses to run it. I envy this guy a bit because he has every toy made for the pioneer and well every thing to do with draft horses. Him and his brothers make some nice dump carts, round bail movers ,and …. well every thing . I am rabbit trailing here but I would say a good blade of some kind would do you well . Taylor Johnson
    ps. My buddy is Amish so he really uses this stuff and puts it to the test.

    Steve,
    I have one of those Pioneer graders for my forecart and have plowed snow with it the past 2 winters it’s great. When the snow banks get too big I run the snow blower along and I’m all set to start again with the grader. I also grade my sleighride trails in the warmer seasons with it as well as pulling manure together in my sacrifice paddocks – endless uses…. Jay
