    a tire on a paved road will pull harder than you think.let the load hold them.drive miles not minutes.they need lots of time with wet collar pads.do not feel sorry for them.you are suppose to work them not the other way around.donot overload just load them and keep driving.

    and after the winch how about a bigger motor and then some big tires.less is more.try to stay with the k. i. s. s. methods.this bog sounds bad but how often do you have that to deal with.in animal logging you have to plan things out and overcome these problems without always thinking more gezzmos.

    she acts like one someone may have tried to make into a pulling mule and done who knows what to her.regular work will probably fix your problem.find some mule driving amish for her to spend the spring with.

    i have never saw a hook like that.it should be one point and very sharp.that looks like it was a wrecking bar used to replace the original hook.

    there is a web site sam linsey.com which shows 8 wheel log wagons.it shows lots of pictures of mules and oxen.also history of the linsey log wagon.the above mentioned book was very good.

    i find this yankee stuff fascinating.the picture posted above shows the proper angle of pull.the back part of the trace does not make much of a difference.i hope this is right. all i now about this style harness is what i have learned on this forum. i want someone to expound on the whys and when of using the scoot instead of the bob sled front.this has had me wondering if there is any difference. ronnie

    tying them and letting stand is good for them be they young or older.if you keep them reined upgood they wont rub on your breast yoke so much.wet collar pads are good to teach them to stand where you put them.tying the back of a wagon to something solid works fine.when i brake mules i let them stand with the tongue tied to a post or tree. ronnie tucker
