Horses were the power sources on the Virginia-Kentucky border when I was a child and I still remember the wonderful smell of the fresh turned earth mixed with horses’ sweat, the leather harness and the plow man’s odor all mixed together on a bright spring morning! You bring back memories!
Love the old photos of horses and equipment. The drone footage and music is amazing. It's really a pleasure to watch your videos. I know it's a lot of work with an already full-time farming/logging business so thank you again and again.
Poetry in motion, those horses sure can walk a straight line. Or maybe it’s the guy driving keeping such a true furrow ? Kudos to those horses walking right at that drone. I saw an ear or two flicker but they didn’t miss a thing.
It’s so different to see you and your wonderful horses working …. It’s calming and very interesting.. thx from an old forester from central Washington state..
Beautiful, Jim. Thanks for sharing. Makes me miss the sound of trace chains jingling. I've worked with nearly every kind of horse there is to work with in my life, and I've listened to some pretty snooty dressage people tell me all about side passing and getting the horse to cross their feet as they side pass, and I always think you haven't seen side passing until you've seen a good team of work horses turn a plow in a tight place and drop it accurately into the next furrow. They are a joy to watch.
Your right about Vermont. Our garden grew the best and biggest rocks every year.😁 Very enjoyable video and the plowing was great. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
You have so taught me a lot in the time I have been watching your videos. You have taught your horses well and it's just amazing to me the patients you have and understanding... First time I saw horses was in Germany working on Sundays pulling logs out of the woods. I have two forestry degrees and I love learning new things and seeing how different people do things ... In Germany was a real education for me I met this man who was a German forester and he invite me out for the day and boy he didn't even have to tell them after they were unhitched at the landing they turn right back around and head back to skid the next logs out.. Some people don't see how intelligent animals are I have always seen as my family had farms and you get to thinking like you know most of the time how they are going to react so I love seeing you involve your whole family it is a valuable asset to them as well that most will never have the opportunity or most wouldn't even care.. I so love your daughters and how they are when working with them. I would love to have met such a woman in my life I think its wonderful. Awesome daughters and one Awesome wife Jim.
Your new plow lays the sod over real nice, and pretty wide slab of sod soil. No sticky problems. Your 1st plow for 20 bucks was just like our 1st 2 bottom trip plow, those broke alot of ground over the yrs. Just seeing it was a surge of memory. I was little but I seen that plow.! Then we got a 3 bottom. Abby, good job with the drone, those things are amazing the aerial views, wow. I was interrupted , so good excuse to watch this one again , ah ha. Thanks, owe , the fella in the beginning, Jason? that guy is an ox, hook him up to the plow if the horses need a break, he is a go gett'n bruser. Good job you guys. Put some electrical tape or a dab of paint on that adjustable sleeve position. Loved the Old Photos. Hearing about the Old Days gets me fired up. Thanks.
Daaaang Jim Abby has some mad Drone skill. Seriously, i'm going to watch the video again. down low, to the right or left. Jim your plow lines are straight and uniform. what fun, what a life and give Abby an extra slice of pie with some vanilla ice cream. cheers
Jim check out the Howell Living History Farm Plow Match. It is the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. The location is below Lambertville, New Jersey. Plowing in the morning and Obstacle Course in the afternoon. Nice event with good food, good music and great folks! Homemade ice cream!!
Hi Jim great to see the different plows I didn't have much to due with plowing it was always my dad or my elder brothers.My dad was the last person I think to get out of horses in our area and buy a tractor but he didn't , buy any implements for it so the single furrow walk behind plow was now pulled buy the tractor the shafts on the tumble cart was removed and draw bar fitted to go behind the tractor . stay safe
Another great video Jim and excellant drone shots too!. I can relate to your Amish helper of years ago. after i retired from my Hay business. I started the Satellite industry here in Western MA in 1982, and I used a one horse plow behind my van to plow a single furrow to lay the multirun sat cable down across the lawns, fields, etc. back to the house's. some runs were 600 ft or more. And that plow worked great. keeping it straight wasn't too hard a task. But I had plenty of horse power for sure!. Thanks again for another great video and best of all for sharing.
After watching the drone footage I finally understand about a two bottom plow. I always thought you used both blades at the same time and now I see one is when you’re going down on the right and the other one when you’re going down on the left. I learned something today which is great keep up the good work enjoy your summer. I should’ve said enjoy your spring.
i could watch you working your horses all hitched up and plowing your fields forever and a day. The horses are gorgeous animals and look to be very trained. Those are truly God's animals (with Jim throw in too). lol Enjoy all your vids especially the one of the horses moving the huge boulder out of your field. Super vids you have and thank you for sharing them with us. I am your newest subscriber.
I really enjoy this time capsule Jim. Your father had wise words , hopefully this plow starts scouring better this year for ya. I’ve had more than one conversation with a fellow WH plow owner bout your troubles. I especially like that four in hand hitch you had on the plow. Very slick 👌
Another great video! Amazing how the horse can keep every step in the furrow! I guess practice makes perfect, driver included!! Drone view was very nice too. Thanks!😉😊
I recently baught a 2 bottom plow for my tractor. father has been trying to verbally explain what to look for while plowing and how to. thanks to you it makes allot more sence. now just to fix my plow into working condition.
Such a beautiful and serene video yet a lot of work for those horses and Jim to work the land and make a living. we tend to call those days a simpler time but in reality those were hard times for most people.......
Thank you for the bit of history of your farm plows, it's interesting to hear the stories of the progression in where you started to where you are. Not many people understand that "dead broke" status, including me, yet I came from share cropping heritage, and I understand what it is to want more for your family! You've done well. God bless.
As an Australian English teacher in South Korea, I can tell you there are many words that our American friends spell differently. Most common being words ending in "our" (favour/favor) and "tre" (centre/center). It doesn't bother me too much, until they start abusing irregular verbs as pointed out by o ldman's post above.
Then take note of the word "rough" so I know an old guy who goes "pluffing"! English is a really stupid language and America tried to fix it up a bit but it didn't catch on everywhere.
Thanks! Love it! I plowed with an old JD B you could plow one furrow both ways, had cast iron points, put new points on, went to the field and dropped it on a stone and snapped the point right off it- never got to use it!
The view with the drone makes me be amazed at how a being of ± 180 lbs succed at controling a group of beast that weight above 5500 lbs. They're generous,
I starded to plow with a handplow. I want to learn it , and i want my little ones to say. My grandfather did that with his horse. You inspirede me tank you
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim We are ahead of your area in field work, but I actually use the cultivator also for bed preparation, having it set up with 5, at times even 7 goosefoot shovels using a cross bracket between the two shanks. So far we have potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, arugula, spinach and radishes transplanted respectively sown.
Hey Jim, play some nice music for your horses to enjoy as they work so hard.... they would enjoy it, trust me. I'm serious now. they are playing live classical music in the zoos and every zoo animal really do listen and walk up to the sound.
There’s a fragrance associated with plowed soil the is unique to that activity. Also, as a youth, I recall flocks of seagulls that would scavenge the plowed soil especially in the fall.
Yes, it does seem odd, but you have to remember, when I plow, I go with out stopping. When I am logging and pulling big loads, I will only pull for 5-10 minutes and then they will get a long break.
We had mules when was little boy started working mules at age 4 my dad started we boys out young. Had 4 brothers i was the youngest. We got a tractor when I was about 12. I couldn't cultivate with it so I would cultivate with this big red mule we had he walked real fast and we could cover a lot of ground. Didn't have to chop no grass cultivating with him and I loved that old mule hated to see pass. Love your video's good lock and God bless.
WOW! That drone footage is about as good as I have ever seen. Every time I thought "Oh please get a shot of...." there it was. Artistry in dirt.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Everything pure and genuine, so it should be.
What a time to be alive. I'm in my bed under the sheets watching crisp 1080 drone footage of a plow pulled by horses.
yes, these are funny times!
Horses were the power sources on the Virginia-Kentucky border when I was a child and I still remember the wonderful smell of the fresh turned earth mixed with horses’ sweat, the leather harness and the plow man’s odor all mixed together on a bright spring morning! You bring back memories!

Those turns at the ends of the field are such a beautiful choreography between horses and man. Compliments all around.
Thank you
Love the beautiful drone footage in the intro. Can’t wait to see more inside!! Yay!
Poetry in motion, those horses sure can walk a straight line. Or maybe it’s the guy driving keeping such a true furrow ? Kudos to those horses walking right at that drone. I saw an ear or two flicker but they didn’t miss a thing.
Nice little history of the different plows you have used in the past.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking us in a world that many of us wished we were born into.
Thanks for watching
It is a lot of hard work
I can almost smell the fresh dirt. Mmmmmm Very relaxing video. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it
You seem so calm and peaceful.... I really enjoy watching ... your horses are amazing. Thank you for taking the time
Thanks
Wow! She has really mastered that thing. Drone views were great and very entertaining!
Thanks for watching!
Absolute beautiful video, such a pleasant watch, twice.
So glad you enjoyed it

Very good video. Liked the history, drone footage and music selection. Good job Abby.
Thank you so much!
Pretty impressive plowing, straight as can be. The team makes it almost look effortless.
Thanks
Such a great video, so peaceful watching the horses happily plowing away. Beautiful land
Glad you enjoyed it

So glad you enjoyed it...enough to watch it again! We will have to give her some pie and ice cream as you suggested!
Beautiful rich ground. Well cared for horses look and act so good. Watching Jim’s horses warms my heart.
Thanks for watching!
Your horses are so pretty!
Great drone footage Jim.👍😊
Glad you like them!
Some nice looking horses
Amazing watching you farm with horses & various pieces of equipment.
Really like your old pictures, at the end of the run that's what we have to show our pictures to match our stories.
Liked the pics and different plows you've used over the years Jim enjoyed the drone footage as well. You have a beautiful farm. Thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
Kathy Ark Mi. Nice work thank you for sharing love and appreciate it so much. It’s so nice to watch see your handiwork
Thanks for watching

Thanks for the info, sounds fun!
so much to say but i will settle for what a wonderfully peaceful video to watch on friday after a hectic week. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Jim great to see the different plows I didn't have much to due with plowing it was always my dad or my elder brothers.My dad was the last person I think to get out of horses in our area and buy a tractor but he didn't , buy any implements for it so the single furrow walk behind plow was now pulled buy the tractor the shafts on the tumble cart was removed and draw bar fitted to go behind the tractor . stay safe
Thanks, you too. Thanks for sharing your history
Wow what a fantastic horse Bill is. He deserves an extra ration of grain tonight. Thank you for the video.
That is so bueatful watching the horses work. Thanks for such a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Jim, ploughing looks really great. It´s a very good plough turning around the soil in a proper way. Farm on, Andreas
Thanks for explaining how you got a New England accent in Upstate New York.
Nice job them furrows are nice straight. what a beautiful day.We woke to four inches of snow today.Thanks for the video
Poor man’s fertilizer...
Fell asleep listening to this wonderful music thx….

That was beautiful ploughing well done.
You are a fantastic horse man and farmer.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looked like the horses were enjoying being filmed at work! Great Video.
Didn't seem to mind it too much, anyway
I recently baught a 2 bottom plow for my tractor. father has been trying to verbally explain what to look for while plowing and how to. thanks to you it makes allot more sence. now just to fix my plow into working condition.
Glad I could help!
Great drone footage! Really enjoyed hearing about your plowing experiences
Thanks! 👍
Well done. Beautiful video.
Like everything on the farm, so much work for one man .... this has to be where the term .... labor of love comes from.
Such a beautiful and serene video yet a lot of work for those horses and Jim to work the land and make a living. we tend to call those days a simpler time but in reality those were hard times for most people.......
Yes, and we have had our share of hard times too. But we love what we do
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim I can tell you love farming with horses and i enjoy watching your video's very much.
I noticed when the drone was directly in front of the horses, there were 6 ears pointed straight ahead!
Lol yes there was.
Great story on the equipment , pictures & explaining how it all works , very well done 👍 , stay safe ! Bob
Glad you enjoyed it, hope you stay safe as well, Bob
The three hitch look good walking down the field, nice drone shots.

Not many people understand that "dead broke" status, including me, yet I came from share cropping heritage, and I understand what it is to want more for your family! You've done well. God bless.
The plow and horses did a great job and of course the driver gets some credit too. The field looks real nice.
Thanks!
Nice drone footage keep the videos coming stay safe and God bless
Thanks and you stay safe as well
Nice drone footage, especially the part right in front of the team.
I understand why you need 2 more horses! You have a lot of land!
Its so nice and relaxing watching the horses working love the music and drone shots
Glad you enjoyed it
Really awsome thank you for the content videos are what some of us need brings back great memories
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh yeah the drone is perfect for this kind of action 👍😮
Nice work. Many guys with a half million dollars of machinery have no idea how to do it right.
We spell the word plowing :as ploughing in the UK...I’ve noticed quite a few words are spelt and pronounced differently in the US.
Love the channel.
Yes, it’s interesting!
Spelled.....

Thanks! Love it! I plowed with an old JD B you could plow one furrow both ways, had cast iron points, put new points on, went to the field and dropped it on a stone and snapped the point right off it- never got to use it!
Sorry you weren't able to use your points, I've had plenty of problems with plow points on some of my older plows before also
Really nice video !! Spectacular drone video !! Those straight furrows are quite impressive, also !! (:(:
You sure plow straight, love your horses
She’s getting pretty good with that drone
Another great video... as usual!!! Good job with the drone, Abby.
Thank you so much 👍
Excellent video. Keep up the good work, Jim.
Many thanks!
Sehr schöne Aufnahme mit der Drohne Ebi. Ist dir echt gut gelungen, mach weiter so.
A truly masterful video....many thanks for explaining the 2 bottom cut-off plow idea.
Just so cool.
Another good one.when things are adjusted right things go better.Nice drone shots.
Thanks 👍
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
The view with the drone makes me be amazed at how a being of ± 180 lbs succed at controling a group of beast that weight above 5500 lbs. They're generous,
There is something primeval about turning the sod and looking forward to another year of harvest
👍👍very cool Jim
I starded to plow with a handplow. I want to learn it , and i want my little ones to say. My grandfather did that with his horse. You inspirede me tank you
Hope it goes good for you! thanks for watching!
You have had warmer weather than us in Alberta, Canada. We don't have any grass growing yet but have started to work the fields. Nice plowing.
Thanks
Love your videos...grease all those fittings before you put it away, it will keep the moisture out and allow for a quicker start next time. stay well!
Great tip!
I have exactly the same cultivator, just used it the day before yesterday. Your plowing is perfect: straight lines, depth, covering vegetation.
Did you cultivate already? You are way ahead of us!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim We are ahead of your area in field work, but I actually use the cultivator also for bed preparation, having it set up with 5, at times even 7 goosefoot shovels using a cross bracket between the two shanks. So far we have potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, arugula, spinach and radishes transplanted respectively sown.
That two way plow is a time saver by eliminating having to lay off the field in lands like you would have to do with a single bottom.
Hey Jim, play some nice music for your horses to enjoy as they work so hard.... they would enjoy it, trust me. I'm serious now. they are playing live classical music in the zoos and every zoo animal really do listen and walk up to the sound.
wow,, thank you,,, God bless,,, amen,,,
Very peaceful
Nice!! Makes a pretty picture from the air. Good video. 👍🤠
Thanks 👍
Very impressive watching your horses work. Would love to see you do a video on working the team: back up, turn left, etc.
Always liked a two way plow!
Cheers!
Whipple
Cheers!
There’s a fragrance associated with plowed soil the is unique to that activity. Also, as a youth, I recall flocks of seagulls that would scavenge the plowed soil especially in the fall.
this man is easy to watch and his family is - he is such a good man and they are -all I can say -very lucky to have him as a dad- he is a good man
Real horse power. God knew what he was doing when he created those horses
Muchas gracias por el buen trato que le. Dais a esos caballos,y lo obedientes que son,,gracias,desde España.
¡Muchas gracias por ver desde España!
Those are the straightest rows I have seen. Keeping your eye on the goal in the distance.
I find it amazing that to plow you need 3 horses but to pull those heavy logs out of the woods you only need 2 horses
Yes, it does seem odd, but you have to remember, when I plow, I go with out stopping. When I am logging and pulling big loads, I will only pull for 5-10 minutes and then they will get a long break.
We had mules when was little boy started working mules at age 4 my dad started we boys out young. Had 4 brothers i was the youngest. We got a tractor when I was about 12. I couldn't cultivate with it so I would cultivate with this big red mule we had he walked real fast and we could cover a lot of ground.
