    i dont have shoes on them , usually they might have some on one hoof but not all four at once. i guess my question was if the rubber stall matts are as slippery as the wood planks? mink

    mitch i guess your right on 11 foot , i forgot that i started with 11-6 and ended up cutting 6 inches or better off. but at least i didnt have to go find a tongue stretcher;)

    the plans from the small farmers journal shows 38 inches between the runners with the cross beam 15 inches wider . the plans say to adjust the measurments to suit your individual needs .the 15 inches gives you the room to bolt the runners on- 7 1/2 inches on each side. you need 11 foot 6 for your tongue so allow for how ever long will be behind the evener.

    is the reason that you use one bunk instead of the usual 2 bunks on a bob-sled just for the ease of turning around or backing up?

    can one assume that a tree would pull about the same either on a cart or single bunk with both having the front off the ground? i guess in my mind i thought the sled type rigs would pull harder on the bare ground. mink

    i seen my grand fathers horse do this when i was 7-8 yers old or so. but being that long ago i dont remember much about it as he died shortly afterwards. seems though he and his brother sent the horse back and forth between the woods and the house . one cut the trees in the woods and they other cut the wood down by the house for firewood and pulp. the ole -timers took all this kind of info with them . mink

    hi blue, just wondering how hanging the harness and collars on the back of the stalls works out for you? i got leather harness thats heavy as hell, looks like that might be better than carrying them from the other side of barn. they ever end up on the floor in the morning? mink
