Tillers International Farming with Oxen and Horses Class

http://www.tillersinternational.org/farming/classes_250_farmingwithoxenandhor...
Tillers' Farming with Oxen and Horses class presents a unique opportunity to hone skills in ox and horse handling. In the last days of spring, we immerse students in a wide variety of field work--the last tillage and plantings, the first cutting of hay, and cultivating out early weeds. Part of each day is spent learning skills and the rest in field practice. Coaches help students hone field skills and draft animal handling. Student assignments depend on skill level as we entrust them with real farm work.

Can the hay mower be run with just one horse?

[TillersInternational]

A hay mower with a shorter cutter bar (3 or 4 feet), can be pulled by one horse, but it must have shavs/thills on either side of the horse rather than one tongue extending between two horses. A longer cutter bar can be shortened.

Thanks for uploading this wonderfully interesting video!

It has been a while since I saw animals and humans working together, with, for a change, the humans working almost harder than the animals!

Nice one.

Take care,
