in 1977 my friend showed me what to do and I did this with a pair of Gentle Giants, Bill and Bob for an afternoon.
This city boy had never been that up close to a horse in his life and I tell ya ... THAT was one of the mileposts of my life.
Percherons are magnificent beasts.
That looks like fun, but not having to do 100 acres of it! I did some reading about the history of John Deere. It was his plow design invention that caused the population of Kansas to nearly double within 10 years back in the day.
Used to walk behind one like that plowing tobacco
when I was young,up one side of the row and back
down the other side.
Remember him passing methane every now and then.
Have to move over about 4 rows for a bit.
Amen! We had a team of half-brother Percherons in MN. Wonderful, intelligent, powerful animals! We called them "Da Boys" (the chickens were called "the girls"), and named them after our sons, Joe and Doug. Lovely, lovely giants.
