oxen plowing

I was plowing with this multiple team for the first time and it was going well so I thought I might share it.

That is a great set of videos, your teams are well trained. With the double set they just seem to be walking along in that furrow casually. I’d love to see how a multiple team rig like that handles the turns. How much headlands do you need to turn them around in? Seeing your spring in Georgia make me itch for plowing time up here, I can’t wait to smell fresh soil.

I hooked these with a single cable and pulley system, similar to the rope and pulley system used by some multiple horse teams, so they don’t need any more headland than a single team. It was 84 degrees when these videios were shot, in Georgia spring “sprang” straight to summer temps.

Looks good and easy for them, great work.
