8 Horsepower

   / 8 Horsepower #11  
This was a local amish farmer. I sometimes grumble if my I match doesn't line on the first time, he has to get 8 horses lined up. The most I have ever seen on a team was 4 horses, he might be trying to show up the neighbors :D. I knew about the hp formula, don't understand it, but like JB how do you compare this set up to a tractor? The field he was working was about 20 ac. It was just impressive to watch. The kids were picking rocks.


Very nice pictures and neat to see so many horses in a team pull!
I remember picking rocks when I was young, certainly was not one of my favorite Saturday task.

Thanks for posting the pictures!

Look at the drawbar HP rating. They do not do that on CUT's. Have to look at farm tractors that have been Nebraska tested.

Saw a different setup yesterday, 8 horses in two groups of 4. Four in front ,four behind. And no camera :eek:
