This treadmill and wood splitter is available from Athens Enterprises, 1797 Matherly Road, Liberty, Ky. , Phone - 606-787-0266. Tell them Jason gave you thier number. This device may power any stationary PTO application, such as a wood splitter, water pumps, generators, refrigerators, hay elevators, etc.

The horse is a Ridgewind Farm Suffolk Punch Gelding, named Tong and the wood splitter operator is Patrick M. Maloney. Black locust is in the wood shed now. This was the first time for both horse and man doing this work. Theyh did a Good Job!

Real horse power and no fossil fuel used to split this wood.

  • It does take a well trained horse. Just lead them up on the treadmill while the brake is on and then turn the brake off and speak for them to start walking.

    

  • Thanks 25slim82, we think it is really green too!

  • It is manufactured in Kentucky by Athen's Enterprises at a family business ran by the patriarch Ammon Weaver. If you click on some of the other treadmill videos there is an address and phone number in the description. Thanks for watching, how did you find this video SuburbanMotorSports? Thanks for writing. I haven't measured the actual horsepower 1stclass skeptic. I think the Weaver's have done some work in that regard.

  • The simply step up onto the treadmill and back down. It is a big step on or off. We are going to make a ramp to try in the future. It does take a good, well trained horse, that trusts you, in order to follow you onto the treadmill. Backing off is not problem, just make them do it slowly so they get off safely. Thanks for asking.
