YouTube - Horses save Milk Truck Stuck in Snow

A neighbor close to me has one lager horse that drags around a large/huge concrete block. I've seen him dragging it around and I was totally amazed at the strength the horse has.

Horrah for the horse's success. they did not even shake hard to do it.Jy

I've got 5 Amish farms that i pick up their milk. I've been waiting to have that happen.

I like it!:thumbsup: That's some serious "horsepower"! On some of the wagon trains that we go on there'll be times that we get rained on and sometimes trucks and trailers get pretty stuck. I've seen numerous occasions where a team of mules will be brought in to pull a truck and it's trailer out.:thumbsup:

Don't underestimate a Horse power

1 HP = the ability to move 33,000 lb on foot in one minute.

Put another way, if you were to lift 33,000 pounds one foot over a period of one minute.

So four horse could move 132,000 lb one foot in one minute.

No doubt, but it's all in how you hook up to the ground.

But-but, how much torque is being applied??:laughing:

 

[Johndeere3720]

Now lets see a 4hp motor do that. :laughing::laughing:

I guess the state law doesn't require farmers to wear seat belts. Don't know exactly what happened at the last moment but that fellow was nearly thrown from his chariot. It looked as if maybe the truck somehow jerked it sideways.

I would rather have a JD 4450 4WD. It can be put in the shed and ignored when not needed.

If you can't get it to hook 1 horsepower is to much!!!

 

[k0ua]

did you not see the rat that run in front of the horses and spooked the 2nd one, and jerked the chariot.?

holly cow I thought you were kidding and I was gonna make a joke about how many people re-watched to go check....

But there was a rat that did spoke the horses.

Didn't see that, thanks.

That was just plain awesome! Lots of power in those gorgeous animals! :thumbsup:

I understand the rat spooking the horses, but I'd love to see how the team was rigged to the truck. What part of that chariot was strong enough to hook to a chain with all that pulling going on? The way the chariot jumped around, I'm inclined to think it was floating on top of the rigging. When the horses pulled the rigging tight, it popped the chariot up. I'm also impressed with those horses the way they seemed to dig into the ice with their hooves and all pull together. That was a beautiful sight. I'd bet that milk truck driver couldn't say thank you enough.:thumbsup:

[Lloyd_E]

yup...

Never fails to start on the coldest days, never runs out of fuel, other than shoes not a lot of parts need replacing or upgrading, gets excellent fuel economy and really isn't effected by OPEC too much!

A great team of horses!!!!

 

[Duffster]

never runs out of fuel,

Ummm..........
