Dear folks, A grade 8 is 150,000 psi    or c33 rockwell   never! weld on a grade 8 bolt it makes it very brittle. A grade 5 is 120,000 psi  or c25 rockwell  only weld on a grade 5 bolt if you preheat to a “hiss” heat before welding or it will get brittle. A grade 2 or standard store bolt is 60,000 psi and can be welded on. Best to design your equipment so you aren’t welding on the bolt heads. Weld a stop or keeper next to the bolt hole insted.

I was told by Small Farmers Journal last fall that they had auctioned off and no one had said who had bought the inventory. I have bought a lot of mower parts for my Osbourne and McCormick from them in past years.

I am sorry I didn’t find your question until now. The handles are 26″ apart and 42″ long depending on where you measure but they adjust up and down so that should not matter. The width can be changed on request for no extra charge. I would love to see a team of minis pulling them in a lot of home gardens. Minis are amazing powerful horses. I have Shires and my mini friends often out pull and maneuver us.

I have not as yet advertised on Rural heritage i am hoping to now that we have the new website up with videos. siriholmberg.weebly.com and 2 new videos on u tube Anny’s all in one. There will be 2 more coming in the next week. One of the ones up now is an over view of the tool and how it works.

I believe all these Amish commercial machines are fabulous for what they are made but a lot of people do not have the horse power or location for such big or heavy machines, or don’t want to wear themselves and their horses out working with them. Two donks I don’t think will do it.

Dear Roxburyfarm the stuff on farm hack was put up by someone not so, Before the implement was but a rudimentery prototype and had never been seen by anyone,so be carefull. The U tubes are o.k. but are also old versions. I am working on a website for horse tooling only and a 3 up to date videos. I hope by the end of next month. I am happy to send anyone pictures and information if they let me know. Thanks Ann

Hi, We are using Anny’s All-In-One with the hiller discs and a drag bar very successfully for making raised beds. One pass in most dirt we have tried.

[Ann]

Yes of course I am happy to say a little. The first videos from months ago were the very first trials a long while back. The video that came out a few days ago and the one to come out today or tomorrow are also old from this winter but are almost the finished product minus paint case hardening and small details . The implements also have some small changes. It maybe hard to see you can off-set you and the handles. Anny’s part 1 They are off setting because they are running against the raspberry row. When they first enter they are running with the ripper pointing up so it can run along and not dig in so you don’t have to carry it to the plot. Once at the plot you change the angle of the ripper with the lever and dig in. Handle bar hight adjusts with a simple pull lever at any time. so at the end of the row if you want to side pass close over you can drop the handles like a wheelbarrow and lift it around with straight arms instead of bent arm lifting it around. Or if you start your row and the ripper or furrower goes deeper then you thought it would, you can adjust instead of walking the whole patch all bent over. The handles adjustment will also accommidate very small to very big people. Draft can also adjust for minnies and has been used with minnies to full draft horses. Use of wheels is fully adjustable, removable or just one wheel without the bar. There are ball detent quick pull pins on the tooling and the handle bar off set so you don’t need tools. I have many implements I have made and used for as much as 20 years and never lost one nor wore one out. The wheel bar and the 2 off sets allow you to cultivate or hill a crop row and not walk on your crop. I hope to get a video of me and one of my horses specificly showing the adjustments and some possibilities very soon. I am not a computer person nor do I live close to any so it takes me a while to figure it out . No broad band until this winter here.

Dear Geoff, I did make it to the auction and demo the Anny’s. It was well received and many people got to try it out. I got to spend sometime with Mr.Pioneer equipt. and compare notes. A delightful man. My biggest problem is in a picture all it looks like is a stick with 2 wheels? I am going to have a couple of videos on u tube by the end of the week of some early trials we did maybe that will help. The other problem is everyone wants a $200 Wal Mart tool and a new one next year. I often question who is smarter, someone who builds something of quality so as not to use up the worlds resources and starves to death doing so or someone who gets what they can when and however they can and has it just a lot easier and is better received by others.

Dear K Michelle, I am new to the computer so bare with me. I am happy to send any and all inf. to you if you send me your email. I have been trying to get it on our website but can’t find anyone to help and am getting it done very slowly myself. We hope to have it on u tube tomorow. I will say it is a high quality tool made of plow steels, case hardened parts and hickory. This is for long lasting. We stand by it and will be there when you need something. We will make tooling for special applications. We also use it ourselves. Thus being said it is not the $200 WalMart tool everyone is looking for. It is for serious horse farmers. I hope that doesn’t sound bad… I have gotten a lot of nasty emails from people who haven’t seen it to know. Thank you for your interest. Ann
