    Looks plenty stout. 🙂 I don’t see why that wouldn’t work for you.

    Welcome to the forum.

    I tried it with one horse today, it seemed a bit much, I’ll try the team this week, do you tink it can be pulled with a double tree, or do I need a shaft?

    If you decide on a shaft, which I like, here is a picture of how mine is set up.

    Looks good to me. I like your idea for making adjustment on your chain. I use one a little bigger than that with a team for hauling sod (after ditching) for building dykes. Mine is probably too big as you can easily overload a team with wet sods. I’d just hook a pair on yours and go.

    I like the chain hitch on this one. Would be nice to have. Mine has a connection similar to the one Rod44 posted but with out a pole. It works as a brake when the tension goes off it plows into the ground. I have been using it with a team of little 500 lb welsh ponies to haul calves to the barn. I am wishing I put a front on mine. As for stout, didn’t know you could make it too stout. LF
