Fall Plowing With Draft Horses

[@territn8871]

I love watching your horses work. It's almost a thing of the past seeing a team working.

[@noelmartyn9034]

Beautiful straight ploughing Jim . Well done to all the team.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks!

[@hughperkins707]

That plow turns a nice furrow.

[@canvids1]

just amazing how the horses work for Jim. They seem to know what is going on all the time and are so gentile. I love t see Jim working his horses and they must really like him! you can tell. thanks for another great video.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, we appreciate your watching!

[@raincoast9010]

Interesting system to hitch the three horses to the plow.

[@harveypyke4897]

Sod turns over very well, almost effortlessly, but then again I’m not harnessed up. Another great job.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching!

[@syireno9380]

I used to live in Lowville Ny in the late 80’s we still had a few people use draft horse around then. It’s good to see someone still is

[@duaneperry7064]

Thanks for posting brother!!!! Great plowing.......!!!💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks brother!

[@3slimdog]

We have land that we lease to farmers. I enjoy watching your videos. I watch with amazement how hard farming is with horses compared to tractors. You and your wife must be really really dedicated to it. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching!

[@hfbroady]

I like the camera on the horses back, the plow view watching the soil being turned over was good. I lived north of the Adirondaks for a while in my lifetime. My Family did own property in the Adirondaks. Nice video, love the horses!!!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching!

[@randyrick8019]

the field is looking good

[@jamessparks8325]

I only saw a sulky plow used a couple times. I was amazed the horses did the walking. Grandpa and my dad used a walking plow. Guess maybe that's why I enjoy.walking. When I was younger, I walked barefoot behind picking up fishing worms and whatever else I might find. Rather be doing that now, rather than voting! Lol

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Good memories! Yes! Sounds better than voting😄

[@br927]

Nice plowing! Nice, Can't wait for the hunter video!!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks!

[@robertandre9680]

I'm a retired equine veterinarian who has draft cross pleasure driving horses. Home town was Lowville. Remember driving a team there gathering sap. All the best to you two in what you are doing.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching! We are quite familiar with that nice town

[@chucker440]

Love it can’t wait for the trip in the woods. Great 👍

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks! We’re looking forward to it too!

[@scruffy6151]

Good to hear you had less problem with your plow.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks Scruffy!

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

That looks really perfect to me. I find your horses work very well. I said it before, I envy you for your level fields. I can't even do any fall plowing anymore on our hilly ground due to the risk of soil erosion with heavy rains. I plow with a 16 inch trailer plow behind the forecart with my team of two heavy Percherons since it is easier for me to get on the forecart than climb on a regular riding plow. Thank you for sharing all of that with us.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

The hilly ground is much tougher to work with and the flat ground is a big reason why we moved to this area

[@steveadams99708]

Another job well done and a great video. Thank you.

[@fion1flatout]

The soil looks lovely, it's really lifted, not like ploughing done with tractors

[@ericcurzi2926]

Nice video, love to see train a new hires and how you go about it

[@thewestnewyorker7269]

Wow! A lot of thought went into that job. Beautiful results! Looks like the plows are working much better than the other video. I get the dead furrow thing- bummer. Another great video, thanks for sharing!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks again for watching!

[@kswaynes7569]

Hind site says you should have started the plowing in the sod ground, dang that hind site! Beautiful job plowing.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Agreed on the hind site, Especially if it’s remembered for the next time!

[@jimhouse9273]

Jim, I am a certified journeyman farrier as well. I couldn't be exact, however it appeared as though your outside black was short strided on his left rear. Have a look tomorrow. Maybe I shouldn't say anything. Don't mean to be cheeky. I'm like the old cobbler. First thing I notice is the feet. I've studied horses from the ground up. Wyoming Jim

[@nickmichell]

A great piece of ploughing Jim, straight and everything ploughed under, great job, have you ever entered a ploughing competition?.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, but it’s been years. There aren’t many in this area

[@nickmichell]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim I thought that you may have, by the way your furrows look, a good ploughman takes pride in his work, straight, everything put under and the neatness of the land that has been ploughed, looks really great jim.

[@randolphbutler1832]

Very clean earth. So neatly done. What is to be planted there ? Thanks for sharing.🐴🐴🐴

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

New seeding in the spring

[@vtdrive129]

Have you ever tried the cover crop method with no tilling? The cover crop method of field management is successful in warner climates, I've wondered if it would work in the northeast.

[@robertdonaldson6584]

Nice show

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks!

[@dalebraun5497]

Perhaps you've answered this in another video, so pardon if this is a repeat. In plowing like this, how long would you work the team before resting or calling it a day? I liked the LADY horse cam.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

They get a good break at lunch but they can go for 3-4 hours at a time

[@carmfarm5]

generally I rest mine at the end of each round for a half a minute or so. The Amish tell me more short breaks is better than long ones. A good rest at lunch. Mine are not in the kind of shape Jim's are

[@bladewiper]

you can sure see a difference in the soil between the sod and the corn.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

You sure can!

[@judithclever1103]

Nice looking furrows, Jim. Did you keep moving the horses around, because they weren't working well together, or what?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

They all walk at a different pace, so trying to get them to work together in that respect. And I just like to try something new

[@olddave4833]

nothing prettier than a furrow turned in sod by horses and well tuned plow.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes!

[@ralphallen1440]

Very nice ! What is the width of cut of that plow ?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

14” plow

[@jeffjahns1974]

How often do you stop to rest them and for how long a duration while plowing?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Plow for about 3 hrs at a time, how often they are rested just depends on the day and how much they seem to need it

[@billschengbier7940]

Have you thought about getting a couple of babies out of Lady and get a young team started She is put together nice and has a good disposition

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

We have tried to breed her once and she wouldn’t stand for the stud, but we may try again

[@SathishKumar-xv3kw]

Sir is there a reason u don't plough in circles.. just wanted to know if there is a reason behind it

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

My plow is made to go back-and-forth and that illuminates any dead furrows

[@kennybolt8329]

How do you hook three and keep 2 horses on unplowed ground ? Do you have some type of shift to move the plow? I wonder because I'm looking to buy a 2 point Plow.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Your evener is hitched on a sliding rod. And it goes back-and-forth as you switch sides.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Good luck with your new plow

[@raymondcarpenter3905]

How many hours can they work at plowing in a day ?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Well it varies, I don’t usually plow a full day because i log as well. I’ll usually do a 3-4 hour stretch at a time.

No expert on this , But to me it seems the plow needs to be pitched up in the front just a bit .

How many acres can you plow in 10 hrs?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Not see, don’t work them for 10 hrs

[@kevinschroeder3889]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim How many days does it take to plow 20 acres? Just curious. I know it's not about getting it done in a hurry. Your tractors are sure quiet. That is probably a big reason you do it. For the peace and quiet. And the satisfaction of working with your animals. My dad on the other hand, was not a horseman and hated working with horses. He bought a Farmall H in 46 and had horses on the farm until 1957.

[@headonz]

@@kevinschroeder3889 we always worked on an acre a day walking behind 2 horse single moldboard plow.

They used to say you can figure on an acre per horse per day. But that would be a long day. I’ve never done that.

Is this for hobby or for sport? A tractor is quicker, covers more ground, you don’t feed it. I guess I’m confused?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

It’s a way of life. Tractors may be faster but working with horses is how I choose to do a lot of my field work
