Here is a picture of the nylon rope. The dense rubber insert is compressed when the rope is under tension.

Where did you get that rope from? I exactly used this ones in Switzerland and i was very satisfied (working & pulling). Sadly, I sold most af the tack before I moved to Canada. Now I’m wondering where I can get them on this side of the pond.

Can you also explain what you see as the benefit of the draft buffer springs in the singletrees?. Would they be primarily for starting the load, smoothing out the pull in transport, shock absorbsion when hitting obstructions, or other benefits? Thanks.

I think for all three.
My Opinion is, that it doesn’t matter if the buffer is a part of the traces, singletree or doubletree for the function. I used http://www.fanac.ch/zep-f-.htm . This poly rope is for sure rougher then a leather trace, but never had a problem.
Look also http://www.fanac.ch/ zep.html
I Switzerland, it was also common by heavy freightwagons the using of doubletrees with a built-in spring.

Sorry for my poor english, after beeing a year here in Canada, it is still hard for my to write in english…

I also am curious about this tack and how/what it is used for.

This tack is only used for skidding logs, the tracekeeper are made from bungee cord, and prevent from stepping over the traces.

When I attended by logging contest, I used bungee cord as well, attached by the brechhing seat. But I used a differnt adjusment. The horse never had the singletree at the hocks.

@Bivol: You could sell the living Pigs to your costumer, and then you can processing the pigs for a service charge.

Governmental common sense seems to be lacking both sides of the Atlantic nowadays.. As Bivol says the EU has some of the most stupid rules..
Again humans need exposed to a certain amount of germs anyway, and I think this is whats wrong with a big percentage of the human race.. a decline in natural immunity brought on by over clean food…I dont mean dirty food.. you guys know what I mean..

John, I totally agree with you!
I know both sides of the atlantic, I’m since a year here in Alberta, running a Goverment aproved slaughterhouse and butchershop. I waste a lot of time dealing with the Goverment and the inspectors!

I know what you mean with the natural immunity, but I made my experience with Farmer und especially Hunter: We have 2 locations, in the slaughterhouse we do only inspected meat, in the shop we do custom processing of wildgame and homekills too. Most Farmer and Hunter do a good/ acceptable job, but some bring ugly, dirty, half rotten stuff in, then they think we can make some good sausage out of this shit…

FENDT Toolcarrier/Tractors are in Europe common for marketgardens and patato farms. If you want to build a toolcarrier in North America, its better when it fit to domestic tools.
Fendt/Acco sell only tractors in USA/Canada.
