attaching an evener to a stone boat

[Michelle Ross]

What is the best design to attach a metal evener to a stoneboat with a single pole through the front runners? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you, Michelle, a beginner teamster

Michelle:

The stoneboat I have doesn’t have a pole and doesn’t need one as there is enough friction between the ground and the boat to keep it from running up on the horses while traveling down hill. My stone boat has a steel head with a hole in it. I loop a chain around it and attach it as close a possible to the evener. So a hole or bolted hook in conjuction with a chain should work.

Good luck.

I just took a short piece of chain and bolted it to each runner. Then I attatch the evener to the chain.
