What videos would you like to see next? Leave a comment below!

[@nickwagner3520]

Jim how about a tutorial on all the words and noises you make to direct the horses. I am always trying to make out what you are saying to them and when.

[@jerryjarrell2373]

I like any of them that has to do with the horses

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Any videos coming from you are worth seeing, so I have no particular preference. Keep up the good work and filming. I should have added to my previous post that whenever it gets below freezing I have problems starting my Stihl Farmboss.

i would like to see a video for beginners what equipment is needed to draft skid logs on the homestead .

I never grow tired of watching those majestic horses work. I don't mind watching you work either;-) Stay warm!

Yes Jim as a kid I remember my great grandfarther using a bobsled to get the log's out in winter with luke and duke his horses he had and my uncle had them after my great grandfarther Died

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Was I the only one who Yelled "look out !!!" when you hit the tree with the camera? glad to see it survived over the tripod. Nice to have equipment on both ends of the skid. makes things a lot easier. looked like a nice day out there too!. thanks for taking the time to video it. and for sharing.

[@butterflylover1347]

you take care out there jim

[@mickholroyd2190]

Good morning Jim n family... one of the things I love about your videos is that you are always thinking of new n better ways to do the job.. so many times here in Australia I have asked different people why?? the answer usually is.." thats the way dad..Granddad ..etc did it"..but why did they do it?? " I dont know"...also..had a laugh.. here your videos have ads in them.. when you hit the tree with the camera.. it went straight to an ad...." headach/pain relieve tablets"...lol

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Hello, sounds like the ad went right along with the video :)

[@johncaffrey5395]

Way much better for the environment. Very nice new logo!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Glad you like it!

[@bjbrown]

I live in Florida...don’t know how you do the cold weather but obviously you and the horses are doing just fine! Love all of the videos and eagerly await more, keep them coming and God bless.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you so much!

[@gregholl5011]

It's not the cold it's the humidity. 😀 The first few days you feel uncomfortable then you get used to it. 32 degrees in February feels very warm. I've seen kids ski in swim suits at 40 some degrees in march after they have skied through water once!

Would love to see Amish sawmill and pallet operation.

[@buckcommander677]

One of my first jobs other than odd farm jobs like picking stones, cleaning horse stalls and cattle pens and haying was working at a pallet mill at 15 years old. My grandfather raced standard bred horses so I also got to drive them for jogging exercise so I appreciate your life style. Keep up the good work Jim and family!

[@harveypyke4897]

Another productive day working with the team, pretty efficient operation.

[@bladewiper]

The bobsled seems to working well with the well tramped road. That was always the preferred method in the old days.

Your videos are something I look forward to. Thanks for sharing.

Like the way you separate your logs. The mill I worked at in the 70ies , we sawed everything, literally. Was a lot during rough times . I like to watch you groom the horses again. Thank-you Jim

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@grammajean1327]

There's nothing like experience and knowledge to make a job look easy. You do that quite well.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@biddydibdab9180]

From hand carrying wood out of tight spots in the woodlot I know just how heavy wood is. I really respect the power of the horses as they haul out those long trees.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes it is heavy for sure

[@barrybracegirdle2931]

Looks like you can get a lot of logs out in one run that way. Love the videos. Have a good week. Stay warm and safe. From PEI

[@fredgreen8208]

Love,love ,love,your videos Jim. I think your horses are super trained and it's a joy to watch you use them for different chores. I especially enjoy the logging videos ,keep them coming . Brings back fond memories of when I was a child and my grandfather used the horses for gathering sap for syrup making. Looking forward to more videos.

[@tammybaker8577]

I really liked this one Jim. I like the scoot. Seems like you can haul a little more logs this time.

Jim. do you have any kind of a V plow to pull behind horses to plow snow. I have seen them made out of wood before, I was just curious. Keep up the good job I enjoy it.

No I don't at the present, but have in the past

I'm blown away by how much your horses can pull. Question? How much would those logs weigh on that scoot. Thanks for the vid.

Jim, when you were tying the team, I wonder when was the last time you had a run-away with either team. They both seem bomb-proof now but were they always? Enjoy all your videos. Looks like your weather moderated somewhat. It has here in Alberta ...finally! Thanks.

[@MrMikeHarwood]

Hi Jim, just wondering if you have much trouble starting your scoot when loaded? I would think you'll have to cut your horses fairly sharp to break the sled, as apposed to using a traditional sled where the horses lean into the neap to help twist and break it free. Sleds and bob sleds are much easier to draw instead of log length, except for breaking the load.

[@donaldshields2483]

I hope you found your steak I see the chain was Dragon but I didn’t see the steak what do you do excellent work and I also do a good job to so thank you for doing all the work you do and for all the tape a new job really enjoy it

[@rodneywager2142]

Hey Jim. I bought some tamarack beams from you about 6 years ago. Will be seeing you again in the spring. Was wondering if you had any video or still shots of those large power poles you made into siding. Great work with the horses.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKWufqCter94jtk Here's a vid I made on the power poles if you are interested

[@rodneywager2142]

Great video and a lot of detail work. Does the person you milled them for have any still shots you could post? That was incredibly nice wood.

[@markabell3179]

Another great video. BTW, I really like your new logo.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

[@michaelengler5165]

The horses don't mind your equipment...I was worried that that pile might shift and roll down to the horses....camera angle made it look close

[@billschengbier7940]

would a center pivot bolster on your drag help when you go around corners mount it on top of the one that you have now so the tires can go under the logs that would let you turn shorter without the chains binding up just a thought

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

it might

[@aporter701]

Looks to me the scoot ( or sled) works best in the snow.

[@lesliewbogertsr7492]

Hey Jim - have you ever thought about making a scoot or sled type out of gas/ oil pipe - which is around quarter inch walled pipe? I am thinking that it may hold up better than the wooden one?

[@thomastonelli3272]

my Dad was a very good deer hunter and he called a chain saw the best deer call ever invented.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

True

[@firecaptaintom1977]

Winter logging is a whitetails buffet.

[@kswaynes7569]

Good cold snow makes skidding easier and easier on the skid steer tires but harder on humans, slippery for horses and starting machinery. Give and take to everything.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

You never seem to have a problem starting up your chainsaws, even in cold weather. Also your excavator seems to work in any weather. Your method of tying up your horses is more a symbolic way to remind them to stand, than a really safe way. To be recommended only with horses as good as yours.

[@bladewiper]

any video is good but, I do prefer the forestry/ sawmill ones. A tour of the pallet mill would be great.

[@hannahshepherd9073]

Excellent video. The young kids of today should have to work with you for a week, if they could last that long.

Watching the Percherons backing up, how have you trained them to do that, when they cannot see behind them owing to the blinkers they wear? Inter-reliance?

How do you get your equipment started on these cold mornings?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

If it's the teens, they start no problem. Anything colder than that, I don't bother trying until it warms up a bit

[@doesleapfarm]

Great videos! Any reason why you don't hook directly to the scoot? You don't have a nice comfy seat, but I think it would pull better. Riding the uptop the scoot load is fun as well.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

I have done that plenty. But the cart is actually safer and I need the cart to skid the logs with, so it works best for me

[@usmcforever7630]

Using the carriage seems to be the way to go around winding trails if you have the means to load it. Your common sense and experience will pull you through. Enjoy the videos

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching!

[@mountainman1961]

Hi Jim! Great video!! How long are the runners on your scoot?? And are they 6’ apart? I want to build one! Or a log sled! My neighbor has an old log sled it’s in 3 parts and are tied together with chains when you have the logs on. Just pickin your brain!!!
