Well done, is there an update available on the trees? I did 3/4 pvc above ground for the first two years or so. I bought the 6 year old trees and used a 24" bit on the auger. Good luck.

How much grass can 2 horses bale and cut sir in a day if you don't mind

@@rugbystories3344 kind of a difficult answer. We just cut 27 acres yesterday with 5 teams. You could do about 5 acres with one team but if you have a 4 hitch you could easily do twice that and more. But it all depends on how long you work a team before swapping out to a fresh team (if you have 2 teams), what time you start and when you end. Hope that helps and thx for watching! Dave

Very nice wagon. In all those years of working with horses I never had such a fancy one, just used regular ones for hayrides for the public - I did have carriages , though. Now I can't drive anything but a forecart, everything else is too hard for me to climb on. Have a lot of fun with your wagon. Even all the tinkering around with it.

😍They look real good, startin' to fill out a bit more!(Speaking from experience) Your cross ties are almost a good length, pulling on both sides of the halter is too short tho. Relaxed enough to hang their head just a bit, is more comfortable. Standing still gets better with time but they really weren't too bad! I'd add "quick release snaps" both sides of halter, in between your regular snaps & chain, just in case. Next to your eye bolt and they'll easily yank it out, chain will end up smacking their legs or face. Easier to PREVENT panic pullbacks, then it is to cure the issue later. 😍And fans are always awesome!!😁👍👍

I'm glad your horse is finally being taken care of properly. The moment you said the Amish don't treat the infection, I knew that horse had suffered a while. Sorry, it infurriates me to hear things like that. I have a percheron mare who was rescued out of PMU collection, which is yet another form of animal cruelty. It stinks when you can't save them all & those big beautiful eyes silently haunt you. You seem very caring & kind to thoe horse.

word to the ambitious tractor guy: so you have the a axis (l to r) covered with the diagonal components, the b axis is dependent on the 2-1/4" tabs connecting the upper 3-point. i cannot see this lifting safely more than 250-300 lbs. dont even think about moving the tractor with any load. imho

I still love it and wouldn’t change a thing. I use with my horses and around farm, thought seriously about adding an electric ram with switch on dash so I could dump but it’s not a major issue at all to dump manually. I don’t even use the dump option nearly as much as I thought bc of my tractor with front end loader. Now that I have it, I use daily and sometimes just go out for a quick joyride. You will love yours and congrats. I’ve added the mat in bed and on floor as well as trailer hitch. Still need windshield but it’s really only for winter to keep cold air off of you. I bought a winch but never installed as it’s never come up that I needed it! Thx for watching, Dave
