What breed are your horses? Not pure bred, but a Percheron light draft characteristic.

I see it almost every day here, as I am surrounded by Mennonites. There are 3 distinct groups here.......one uses modern farm equipment as any other farmer would, one group uses steel wheeled tractors, and the other group uses horses. This latter group has some nice draft horses, and will take modern equipment such as a corn planter, and modify it so they can pull it with the horses. They put a small gasoline engine that powers a hydraulic pump, and use that to raise and lower the equipment.

Used to be a bunch near here but they moved to Missouri and they would not use the gasoline engine on that rig. Diesel was OK, because no Electric being used. They moved to where there were more of them. Said lack of marriage partners was making them lose their young to other ways. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Said lack of marriage partners was making them lose their young to other ways. miles The engines I've seen are Briggs&Stratton gas burners, but they also use bigger motors, including old tractor engines, on other equipment. One of Mennonite neighbors has a bush hog powered by a small Allis Chalmers engine. The ones here don't worry about marriage partners, they just marry their first cousins. I guess the closer the kin, the better it goes in.
