tread mills

[Gabe Ayers]

Geoff,

I really don’t know man, I bet there are folks that do. I happily accepted the device as a demo model from Athens, with a long term purchase agreement -including having it at SDAD annually – and should learn more about it.

I just learned last week that you can get a rubber mat or belt on the treads and that is cool. A problem for me is that my hard logging horses are all shod with toe plates and heal caulks which won’t help the treads last or could get caught and cause a real wreck. Let me do some research on it for you. Sorry for my ignorance, I am just a man, not “the man” on anything really, thanks for the compliment though!

There are several sprockets in the gear box that allow for different PTO speeds and I will try to find out more about it for all of us.

I bet you can call the number for them on the youtube piece and ask about that information and get precise details. Ammon Weaver that built this thing is a mechanical whiz. I heard that he designed the gearing for the I and J ground drive pto forecart.

I will say that this set up will split wood faster than anything I have seen.

Thanks Jason. I didn’t mean to put you on the spot – you’re the only person I know owns and has used the treadmill. I’m trying to think of unique ways the treadmill and horses could be used on the farm and integrated into the system. I’ll try contacting the manufacturer!
