Draft Horses Plowing the Garden with a White Horse Plow

[@richardbrooks3569]

There's something mesmerizing about watching Jim work these horses.

[@gregholl5011]

Ok. I have a problem! I'm addicted to these videos! 😊

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Great😀

[@donniechapman5922]

I'm an old guy 67 so I appreciate what your doing , I'm assuming you just enjoy working with horses this is my first visit to your channel.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Donnie Chapman Yes, that is correct it’s my preference because I just enjoy the horses

Thank you for taking me along. The message of hope and starting over in the spring, leaving behind what was and expecting this year to be better. Grateful for the setbacks of life, they really do make us stronger with more growth like out gardens - with more wisdom, knowledge, and joy. Jim, Brenda, and the horses all contribute to a special broadcast that puts life into perspective. God Bless

[@lesthompson5907]

I love that plough I Never saw one in the UK in my youth It was a signal furrow walking plough. I see you spell "plough" {plow} differently to us in the UK, tomato Tomarto I suppose. LOL Les England we call that type of Ploughing in the UK a Cope & Rene When you meet you have a wide furrow I think you call it a dead furrow.

[@debbiebjorklund3241]

Something calming about being w yall. Tight turns W shoes is tricky for them. Ah. Love your wh picket fence w bird house on a wh pole. Bruck is doing a super job in thr furrow. Calms right down.😅 i know de feeling. Have a good rest of your day. ❤❤❤❤❤😊

That plow looks amazing on camera.

Today is the first time I have watched your videos. I am so thankful it showed up. I wish I were there helping. Thank you for sharing.

plf1of6 We are glad you enjoyed them.

So brenda your little picket fence got a licking of paint too, it looks very country looking how nice👍🙌😊

[@bladewiper]

Rocks are a never ending battle. I do like that plow.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

For sure! Yes, it's a nice plow

[@philipingram1667]

My father used to talk about plowing with a Model 18 Oliver plow and one horse in the late 20 s and 30s - you have beautiful horses and they are well trained. Enjoyed the video.

[@mfc4591]

I would call this a single furrow mouldboard reversible plough, but maybe that's a real mouthful ! The horses seem to pull so effortlessly.

[@robertmarino2158]

Amazing what can be done ! My Father used horses back in the 30's & 40's in farming in Pueblo county congratulations , it is very hard work ! So very proud of you doing this ! Thank you ! Stay safe , Bob

[@thirzapeevey2395]

My grandfather used to call that a hee and haw plow, which was PA Dutch for gee and haw, or right and left. Here in Kentucky, it is called a hillside turning plow. I had the pleasure of plowing with one of those White Horse plows years ago, with my Mennonite friend's horses. He was the one with the two farm chunk mares and the two ton horse geldings. That was a thrill.

[@allanbarsness6076]

you got some good horses,Jim

Nice soil, Good job feathering out the furl in the last pass, not so ubrupt, sure safes on a misplaced step.. Looks Great. I can smell the soil and taste the fresh beans.

I love to train and work with my dogs, always have liked to watch and hopefully God willing have my own draft animals one day. Nice looking garden soil and good videos. Keep it up!

[@larrycounce4509]

I do enjoy y'all's videos they remind me of my granddaddy working his team of mules, so thank you so very much. That breaking plow is neat with its spring loaded rock jumper setup. I really wouldve enjoyed having one for my G series Allis Chamber one row tractor, that sir is impressive.

Hi Jim, great job plowing with 3 horses. Farm on, Andreas

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks 👍

[@plainsimple442]

That garden is about the size of the one that I plowed with a single Shorthorn steer and a single share plow. When he was 3 yr. old he could plow the whole garden at one time. In the spring he worked twitching out logs to the wood yard and hauling manure for the garden. That would get him is shape for the plowing that is very hard work.

[@hattiemercer5764]

Looks so good thanks Jim and brenda

[@mikerowe1496]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim I started riding our cow horses at age 8..I could trail ride over heard cattle. The lone team we had was used to clear irrigation ditches ,pulling a mowing machine, a rake and the hay wagon. They were a mare and her son: Dolly and Bob. I learned to drive them. At age eleven I would perform all of the duties of teamster. The team was mostly Percheron. I had to have help from my father to get the harness on them. Heavy wagon tongues were a problem for me as well I loved those big draft horses more than our saddle horses. Long ago and far away .

Summerbend Farm thanks, I like your videos also. Love those shots with the drone. Any of you guys liking my videos should check out Summerbend Farm’s channel.

[@summerbendfarm8373]

Thank you so much for the recommendation! I hope people will enjoy the videos. We don’t really watch tv but have for a while been watching different farm KZbin channels, like yours. I think they’re better than watching actual television. Unfortunately there aren’t many channels that regularly upload videos focused on draft horses, which is why we love seeing your videos. Please keep them coming! Chad

[@melbytvenge]

Job Well Done

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Very nice.And such a fancy fence! Great to see that you grow your on vegetables;it's a shame to see farms that besides their row crops only have lawn. It is obvious that you are much further north than where I am , we already have 18 different kinds of vegetables growing, which we grow for our restaurant and private customers. We are already harvesting spinach, radishes, kale and arugula. I plow with a trailer plow behind the forecart which is easier for me to climb on than the riding plow. I did prefer walking behind the plow, though, can't do it anymore.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Klaus Karbaumer Yes, it sounds like your growing season is way ahead of ours- we are in zone 4 here. Good for you to have so many crops in and growing. Keep up the good work!

[@mwhelan53]

1. Nothing like a morning on the seed drill to take any sass out of them. 2. It is a genuine pleasure watching your guys working in so tight without any fuss. 3. Watching the big boy just casually drop into the furrow at just the right time every time is neat. 4. Of you guys could get $5 a bushel for rocks you’d be rich in a year. 5. How do the dogs feel about having their kennels on top of the silos?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Mick & Julies awesome channel. They hate climbing the ladder every night😀

[@charlesmoore5840]

Good working horses

[@Kyle-ls7dm]

I was raised around percherons and Belgians by my grandfather he used them for logging firewood and horsepull competitions

[@chrisark8039]

Kathy Ark Mi Raspberries at my house get pruned right down to 4" every fall and every new year they would grown up near 6' . I learned to trellis them with fence post and wire and would weave in and out of the wire as they grew tall and it helped them alot.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Sounds like a good way of taking care of them, thanks for sharing!

[@Kyle-ls7dm]

I watch your videos all the the Im from up state New York also Ontario County NY area

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching! When you grow up with them, love for the horses can really stick with you!

[@hughvane]

While watching several of your ploughing videos I've regularly wondered why Jim uses the reverse and sidestep manoeuvre when there's ample headroom to use a wide loop turn instead.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

It's faster and teaches them to side step and move as I want them to

[@haroldinsley171]

Good looking soil, although a little stoney. Will you put a fence round your planting area?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

No we won't put a fence around it. And yes, it is stoney, we have picked rocks for years from there, and the plowing brought up a new crop!

[@phillunrau9972]

....don;t need a fence ,,looks lik a hay field beside ..... but wonder if 3horses could pull 2or3 furrow plow ??/ in dirt land ,, if new land ,,sod would take 2or more horses ...... we should all go back to small farms ..... downsize the BIG UGLY GMO FARMERs ... it could happen ,,little by little or gov;t create a million SMALL FARM LOANs instead of hopeless STUDENT Loans .. naturenorth.com has burning vids on utbe ..

Have you given any thought to a GPS system for the horses?

[@stephen4032]

Thoroughly enjoying you working with your horses, from over here in Ireland. A question I have is when can you tell your horses are too tired to work? or how do you assess how much work you want them to do? Thanks.

I’ll try to talk about it on one of my videos. I have one coming up soon that will discuss it.

Is this a new plow or just repainted?? seems like the soil is very rocky based on the sounds it makes on the plow share.

Yes it’s a new white horse plow. Yes we have a lot of rocks in places, as you could hear.

Do you need three horses with a one furrow plow

Somewhere between $4000 to $5000

[@kennydean4512]

Jim, is it better for the horses to be walking on soft soul rather than hard pack? I thought someone who owned horses told me what is better

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Kenny Dean soft soil or hard soil is good, walking on a lot of concrete is not so good

[@kennydean4512]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Thank you, I am naturally curious about a lot of things, also mechanically minded, I also like horses, how many do you have? The ones I've seen so far on your videos are very beautiful horses, I've watched the Teamsters harnessing the Clydesdales at our State Fair, the Big E it does take a lit if knowledge and patient's to get them all harnessed up for the work they perform.

[@duanebolen8359]

Do you farm with horses

Jim how long does it take to clean and oil all the tack?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Most of the harness is Bio and it’s very easy to wash with soap and water

[@nwoutdoortv8351]

Nice,but back days were was walking behind the plower.

[@bc8968]

What determines which horse gets positioned where?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

I like to have them be able to work in every position, so I switch them around some.

[@sandymacpherson9400]

Jim, you seem to have plenty of room around your garden patch. Wouldn't it just be easier to turn the horses in a bigger circle at the end of each furrow, or plow it as two sets of interlocking "rings", for want of a better description? Just asking?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

The way I plowed the garden, I had plenty of room to turn. But I had used both plows going back and forth, it would've been harder. If you're interested, the video Early Spring Plowing explains how I turn around. Thanks for your interest.

[@1raducu972]

Name for plow please!

[@ТетянаНикифорець]

Яка ціна такого плуга.

[@MrKen-longrangegrdhogeliminato]

Oil the moldboard, don't paint. Keep the plow in a under a dry roof. Horses are working harder because of paint and the friction created with two surfaces rubbing together. The light oil film with come off in first few feet of plowing leave a bare shiny slippery moldboard and shear.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for the suggestions and for watching!

[@fredbaumberger8988]

If you were worried about the horses stepping on the other why not walk them in a circle on the head land so they didn’t have to side step

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

They are pretty used to side stepping so I don't worry about it too much, and there isn't much room on the further end.

[@farmwife3622]

Enjoy these videos..but why do you use horses instead of tractors?
