thanks for the answer; is there possibly a picture? how would the hook stay in place when there is no forewards movement? how much load can be pulled mith these hames? the metal part seems to be only attached with 2 bolts and no counter surface …

[CharlyBonifaz]

not only easier in curves, should also provide more “up” when pulling a heavy load through deep soil
seems like many Russian carts/carriages were designed with the horses hooked straight to the front axle

if the oxen are in training now, could you take part in that? would help you a lot …

[CharlyBonifaz]

great pair of oxen you portrayed …

looking good 😀

[CharlyBonifaz]

it was a three-dimensional capable harness with a loose leather-connection at its top and as mentioned very high traces; the top would also have been constructed wrong for equines: open and higher to the rear instead of front as is neccessary for horses
may be the pictures can help?

it’s not a constant group, there are hardcore members that have known each other for longer than that; but the group has been growing and been realising, that only combined, international efforts can revive draft cattle in Western Europe
our German group has always leered across the borders trying to regain as much knowledge as there still is left
I figured it might be interesting to see how implements are continuously improved/adapted when one needs to work with them every day …

neckyoke must read headyoke 😐

Our horses will (in an everyday situation) only be walked away from a hitch if all together walk away; meaning the first one has to wait untill the last one is ready to go. I wonder if that might easen a situation like that

[CharlyBonifaz]

verbal command training with yoke and without

they hear my verbal commands anytime, even when I enter their box I will tell them to “back”

[CharlyBonifaz]

are you sure it’s fungal?
“extremely itchy” makes me wonder, if the britchen has been new or has been redone (allergic to chrome leather)

Will for Oscar!
Thanks for the video – still waiting for snow …

[CharlyBonifaz]

thanks for the help; yes, I’ve been thinking of redoing one of the big snow shovels to be used like a scraper for the snow; and I enjoy the picture of the Miskin scraper, never seen anything like it … I think John of Hopewell Farm is onto what I have in mind … may be someone else comes up with the right link

[CharlyBonifaz]

thumbs up! and good luck! guess you know, you didn’t pick the easy way 😉
hope all of you will be doing ok by spring

[CharlyBonifaz]
