Here one I like, No yokes and no Google’n, Family Photo!!

[Neil Dimmock]

Well I have searched and searched and all I found out west was this one with a yoke it was taken at Fort Walsh, is a ox train from Fort Benton, over 100 photos and this it!! so I would say That the yoke was not to popular!!No traslation needed this time!!:D

In the 100 + years that we have had Percheron’s we have never had a mare run through the fence, I checked it out with Dad, I start the young studs with the older mares so they learn to court rather than bully and I dont have any studs that I cant not walk up to and catch nor do I have any that ripe up mares, I guess if your selling semen it might be worth fooling around with them but just to breed I think let horses be horses!

[Neil Dimmock]

horse plows don’t pull well behind a tractor, its real hard to hind that line of draft that lets the plow run right, maybe find a old three wheeled tractor plow and touch it up,

mine has an Wisconsin 12 horse two cylinder but a Honda would be a lot quieter and more reliable, there is a bracket that bolts to the inner side of the bale camber with a idler that you lock down to tighten the belt, I will take some pics if you like. and yes you can pull the baler with what ever you like, I have seen some that they just took the drive shaft off at the steady bearing, its held on with just a set screw, that way you can use the motor or the PTO, we use older side delivery rakes that do both, some what of a tedder and a good rake. If you have the coin buy a 9 that been fully gone over, it a few dollars alright but doing it your self may take a while and its always nice to start with a like new one

Hi, not sure what a belly backer is so I might have one and not know, but most tugs up here have a ring in the tug right at the belly band and back pad, there is a short heavy tug from there to the collar and a lighter long tug to the chains, We use western breaching most of the time but I do have a set of yankee breaching and two sets of twin neck yokes.

[Neil Dimmock]

I can not say which is the best because all I have ever used is NH so I wont tell you they are the one to have but I dant have any problem pulling them with my teams in the hills with out a wagon behind and I think a team of Halflinger,s would have a time trying to pull one with a half full wagon behind!!But you could use more horses, three or four would work better, brakes on the cart would help hold it back on the hills, but just the baler two should do!

Hi, the collars unbuckle so it make no difference if they have horns or not.

[Neil Dimmock]

Thanks just two types of horses for me, Percheron’s and blacks, the rest are just horses. HE, HE, the dual makes it pull easier in ruff ground

Never used the rope but I have a few Mckinnon chain and pulley and they work ok for light loads but under full load they let the leaders tug raise to high which wastes 1/3 of the leader effort, the best is the talkington which self adjusts to the right angel for the leaders as well as the wheelers and wastes little effort of either. The bonus is that its light and cheap and easy to move.

Here one of us using 2 NH 68,s and a couple of horse side delivery rakes, no the plunger motion is lost when the baler is under load and at rest its not enuff to tighten the tugs. I prefer the ground drive cart but its made from an old cockshutt 30 and a bearing locked up in the trans so until then I’ll use the motors.

[Neil Dimmock]

or this?

[Neil Dimmock]

would these help?
