Something Is Stuck Again / Amish Pallet Shop

Today‪@WorkingHorsesWithJim‬, we get the skid steer stuck and go to the Amish pallet shop.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

I think that is a very rare thing that a guy can sit in a skid steer with running motor and have his horses pull him out of the snow only with voice commands. Not only do the horses pull, but more importantly they stop when told to do so. With all the work that you do most people would not think about filming so much , and with ever changing and interesting angles!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, I enjoy changing up the angles. The horses like it because they get more rest.

Why are horses so strong? All they eat is some oat muesli, carrots and hay. These beautiful horses weigh ten times more than me, but I need more calories. And I‘m still weak, especially on a diet 😂 Their metabolism is a miracle to me.

I often wondered how many times you got stuck with the skid steer, now I know!. I was surprised in many videos how well you were doing with it in the snow.. once again the team to the rescue! Now you'll have to give them the rest of Bill's carrot's for pulling you out! !! Thanks again for taking us along on another day's journey. and for sharing.

[@megbirney8612]

Well done back up with the log trailer attached to the forecast. That is very hard to not jackknife when backing up and the snow just makes it harder still. I would give a lot to have my team that good on the verbal commands for me to be able to take my hands off the lines!! My hat is off to your skills as a teamster! Don’t feel bad about not being able to film in the pallet place, many of my Amish friends would allow it either.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks!

[@megbirney8612]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Just to let you know I have a Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton 4 WD. I have a 20 ft steel stock trailer. Hauling 2 horses no problems, if I load up all 4 going up hills can get slow. I decided I don’t drive up hills/ mountains often and mostly trailer only 2 at a time so I prefer the lower gas consumption of the 3/4 versus 1 ton truck. My guys run 1500-1600 pounds or so each, so slightly smaller than yours.can’t wait to hear what you found ( we also buy the trucks used since they are so expensive new).

[@steveadams99708]

[@royolstad8532]

Seeing you filling up your saw in winter reminded me. I built log houses in Alaska, years ago. I had to keep my bar oil in the house at night, and then build up a good wood scrap fire in my log yard, and keep the bar oil right by it all day, or it would solidify. I enjoy your videos. I find it relaxing to see the pace of work, the walking of your horses, it's a fine pace of life. While it looks slow, much can be accomplished,. The pace of work is deceiving in a way: it's much harder work than it looks.

[@freebird1ification]

i can see some good horses getting another bag of carrots soon lol and as far as being able to see how they build there pallots i can respect them for not wanting us to film it those and yall are soomgood hard working folks good to see the mrs out with you today yall take care now ,.

[@freebird1ification]

and as far as a truck i would love to have that truck your logging guy has but even a 1 ton would be very nice to help on a farm like you guys have hope you get what you want ..

[@surender4ify]

Horses always have your back!!!

[@zachodommulelogging]

Jim I really like your “dray” idea. I think it would work good on our long pulls here in the mountains. Innovation at its finest for sure. Please keep tweaking it as you learn more about it. I’d like to try something along these lines eventually. And kiddos to your hosses pulling out the skid steer. I work by myself most of the time and having the horses work by voice is like having another person there. It sure shows what you put into your animals my friend. Great work!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, the dray is working out pretty good. You should try it. On dry ground it would probably be more of a plus than on snow.

[@kaseygee9818]

[@br927]

years ago, we had an old man come into the store and buy a 25lb bag of carrots every month- One day I asked him what did he do with all those carrots, he said he fed them to his work horses- well I was real interested then, I ask all about the horses and he told me he didn't know how to harness them or drive them_ I almost told him i'd be right over, and I never got over there

[@Cornishaich]

As a young lad growing up here in Cornwall, UK. horses were still being used especially in the cutting of cauliflower which along with new potatoes was the main crop. The horses were much better than the tractor as they could work by voice command, just like yours. There would be several men cutting the cauliflower and throwing them into the cart, when needing to move further up the field you said walk on and whoa when you needed to stop. Simple and no need for a man to be on a tractor, so labour saving too.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

My last two trucks are f350 dually flat beds. So much handier than pick up bed. One I have now has a hoist. Sure makes delivering firewood more fun. Dually much more stable pulling trailer. And obviously don't forget 4 wd.

[@briannapier8337]

Really been enjoying your videos after I get home from work, watching your horses is relaxing. If given my choice of trucks I would probably pick Ford 250 diesel, because Toyota doesn't sell a big diesel and Chevrolet has just let me down on their products. Have always been a Chevy man but sometimes you just got to step off the train lol. Congrats on whatever you bought prayers its a good dependable ride

[@addisonondo6320]

I think a 1 ton diesel would serve you well . As much as you tow on a day to day basis. My personal Choice would be a ford F350.

[@kevinschroeder3889]

The older Fords with the International 7.3 were great engines. The new ford diesels are junk. If your talking a diesel, Dodge Cummins is the only way to go. I have a cummins, It is a horse (Sorry lady, no disrespect) and pulls great. Chevys are good trucks also. A dually will pull the trailer a lot better as far as control.

Have you ever made a basswood rope? The early Europeans were surprised to see the Native Americans using basswood ropes which were softer and stronger than the sisal ropes they had available. You can find videos on KZbin on how to make them. I wonder how they would do for horse bridles. I could braid with 3 bailer twines but I never mastered 4 needed for a bridle.

Hey Jim, I just subscribed. I see something I was taught never to do. Horses should not know that treats might come in plastic bags! Just in case they ever find one in the paddock. It was about bread bags really, but plastic bags of carrots these days also.

With any animals you developed a closeness that is truly amazing, just like you have with your guys. Cheers To you Jim and your family too.

That was beech. The relationship that develops between horses and driver can be very special indeed. Cheers to you!

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Ok it appeared to look like beech. I do a fair bit of carving Jim, and I used some beech in the rump of the carving of a copy of our Corgi Dog but 85% size of him. Beech is not a native species in Australia but I did make a show table inlayed with beech and Jarrah for my daughter. The beech was a left over of wood used in a staircase steps. A fair bit of the beech was spotulated - not quite shore how to pronounce and was a very pretty display in the wood. Basically what I am saying is a man throw away can be another mans treasure!
