ParticipantA huge thanks to the Perry farm for hosting the 2012 Draft Animal Powered Annual Gathering, weather was awesome, the turnout was great and it was nice to see all the folks again. If this event doesn’t energize you about the future of draft work, I don’t know what will. Thanks to everyone for their support and efforts.

ParticipantThanks for the great videos. We are busy with Farmer’s Market during the weekend and I am sorry to have missed the event. Did anyone get any details (and more pictures) on the ground-drive forecart?

ParticipantI am officially jealous at this point. I am glad that I can at least see the videos from the event. I heard there was going to be a pioneer homesteader at the event did anyone get a look at it. What do you think?

ParticipantTim, in your video were the two Bay horses at 2:00-2:30 Brabants?
September 17, 2012 at 6:12 pm #74627ParticipantI think they were Brabant x Morgan but I could well be wrong. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

ParticipantWere they Herb’s horses? From NY state? If so, I think they are belgain/percheron crosses. If they are not Herb’s horses, they look just like them.
September 17, 2012 at 11:26 pm #74622ParticipantThey were full Brabants….Neal Perry’s new team. The mare is bred to Neal’s Morgan stallion, Ben…so there may be a morgan/brabant cross on the way. Very nice team!

ModeratorThe Homesteader was there, they tried it out on freshly plowed sod on a hillside, it was determined that this was not the appropriate application of this tool. It works better on flatter ground that A) sod has rotted well and worked in B) Clods have been broken down and a good seed bed has been prepared. The discs are light an may be fine for sandy soil or a smooth no sod plow down, but I think since they are spread apart they may be best to use for between crops and could be great for hilling corn. I saw it go at Horse Progress days and it really shines in a good garden that is cultivated regularly (using the Homesteader for just such purposes:)
September 18, 2012 at 7:16 pm #74632ParticipantErika, thanks for the review. I am considering investing this next season and given all of those considerations it still seems like the best all around tool for the job.
