ParticipantI run my team of mules with pigeon blinders and my Suffolk
team with out blinders.I think blinders in heavy bush give
some degree of protection.ParticipantDid you have the mower with the mounted engine driven used it with the PTO forecart?
ParticipantI would take any 20″ collars and wooden hames to fit for a team of mules.
ParticipantI was wondering the same as Ronnie about the difference between the single bob and the scoot.
Ed cleared some of it up.What would the difference be between a shortened bob sleigh and the
scoot.I know my grandfather and uncles just used the bob sleigh.Their bob sleigh had cross chains
attached to the rear runners and turned quite sharply.
BarryParticipantWe have used aspen with good results but mower is kept under cover when not in use.
We just use what is at hand.Mower pole is 14′ in lenght.ParticipantWelcome Stephanie,would like to see a contact book or forum from Canada.
I am at B.C. and Sask.Belong to The Saskatchewan Working Teamsters Ass.
Have you checked The Draft Horse Connection?ParticipantWe throw the plow down on the head lands here in Canada also.
ParticipantJust make small 4×4 round bales in the field with motorized forecart and 4 horses.
Pick the bales later with horses when convinent.ParticipantI made wooden boxings for my disc out of maple.Turned them on the lathe.Bored a hole
in the centre then lathed to size.Cut in half on band saw.Put grease nipples in casting.
Works great.
barwParticipantHi Jac very nice pic’s.I like your country side. Still winter here in BC and
on my Sask. farm.Your new plow is it a foot lift model from Pioneer.
Just got their new catalog last nite.
BarwParticipantYes I have a Merlin hoof trimmer for my saddle and draft horses.It does a good job and is easier on the back.I still use the hoof nippers too.
ParticipantSure looks like a JD foot lift like my has for a lawn ornament in the
front yard.ParticipantWe have a 97′ GMC 6500 Top Kick and a 26′ Norberts tri-axle stock trailer.
Used to have Dodge 1 ton but now no load is too heavy and lot easier on pulling truck.
barwParticipantHi Near Horse I would go for the 24′ as we have one and love it.
Had a 16′ and a 20′ but the 24′ is ideal put wagon or sleigh and gear in front
and team in the rear.Oh mite mention the 24′ is a tri-axle and pulls like
a dream.
BarwParticipantI think White Horse Equipment has a hydraulic forecart-wheel driven.
