When I was a very young boy we use to plow with mules and i can remember moving to a nother farm with a pair of mules thank you so much for sharing brings back good memiores
When I was 8 years old my dad bough a 15 acre farm and taught me to harnes a team of 2 Belgans and drive a 1 moleboard plow. Took over an hour just to harness the horses cause I was too short to reach over their backs. Plowing 2 acres a day then feeding all the other livestock was a days work.
hello friends, greetings from costa rica in central america. What beauty, see those horses, they are beautiful. surely you treat them with love and respect that I like. I like the Amish way of life. I liked the video.
Nice video but the plow isn't a plow. The implement is a disk harrow. The soil has already been plowed, the disk harrow is used to kill emerging weeds, break up clods and compact the soil for planting. The team was working well together and they had a load.
I get the distinct sense that these Amish _know_ what they are doing. (Thanks for the correction Don Fox! I didn't know a plow from disk harrow... and now I do! Plus the guy in the video @2:49 corrects her "that's its a disk")
Thank you Blanca for sharing this video with the YT community - it is quite an experience to see the farm work as performed by our "ancestors". Ciao, L
Just imagine 100 years ago we all farmed like the Amish do. I guess my family liked the tractor over physical labor, im Pennsylvania Dutch but I work smarter not harder.
My grandfather had a 240+ acre farm in the same county...farmed with 11 head of horses with 3 hired men for field work...1937 bought an Oliver 66 on steel and made money, after letting the hired men go...still used horses for cultivating...in 2 years bought a new Studebaker, after giving up the 27 T tudor, bought used in 1935 for $75....He paid cash for everything, as you can never depend on the weather or farm prices...as with horses, a part of the farm us designated for the maintenance of horses...as part of the farm is designated to maintain the tractor...nice thing about the tractor, you do not to feed or care for it, while it is not working!...today I was harrowing with 10 sections...working with 10 horses walking, or 11 with a riding cart...rather use my tractor for the 4 month farming, than deal with horses year round!...love horses, but they require too much labor and all of my kids refuse to work, as little as dryland farming yields!
When I was a kid on Saskatchewan prairie we still had 2 farmers farming this way. They were Anglo Saxon, Not Amish. This was back during WWII. Most tractors then were steel wheels with lugs.
The implement is a disc. Not a disc cultivator. A cultivator is used to cultivate between rows of crops. It is also not a harrow. There are two kinds of harrows, spring tooth and spike.
I like it. I just keep thinking safety bars behind that seat and I'm not a osha kind of guy. Also worked in and around ranching and farming most of my life
There are horses in 'training' and not actually hitched to the implement, those horses are on the outside of the ones doing the work and learning. The best way to train your work horse is to give it to a good Amish farmer for a year, he will put it in with his working animals and they will 'learn'.
Would some knowledgeable insider tell me what it costs in a year to feed those big horses? Vet bills?Fundamental financial analysis reigns supreme in the very long run!!
whut? I have 3 and it takes 1200 a YEAR to feed them. Sorry you worked for idiots who don't know how to get a good deal on feed. And fences? Hell, I've had horses for probably longer than you've been alive and never had expensive wood fences. Invest in a $100 fence charger and some cheap electric fence wire and problem over. They even have Amish friendly solar powered ones these days. And the pregnancy thing? Geez, that's how you replace the buggers, AND make a profit off of them. Can't do that with tractor. You musta worked in some hodytody show barn. I don't know anyone with riding or working horses that pays that much. @Newbie Failmaster
Often times the Amish will are experts caring for their livestock and rarely need the actual services of a veterinarian, but they will buy their supplies and medications from a vet, especially now as laws have changed on dispensing antibiotics and so forth. We have a lady vet who works with the amish in this area and they will either barter with her or pay cash.
Reminds me of one of my grandmothers telling me how glad she when the last horse left the farm. Draft horses had a hard life and they didn't live 20+ years like pleasure horses today. My dad still has it stuck in his thinking that a 4 year old horse is about half done with its life.
a harrow has thinner than chisel plow teeth , closer together and some arranged and designed differently. used to straighten the hill that a disk leaves and pull out stalks and clods . basically doing what a drag does but cultivates alittle

This is an awesome video of horses pulling a plow they are really strong. Theses draft horses are very beautiful thank you for showing this video.
In the 70s I lived close to the Amish country around Hazleton, Iowa. They are remarkable people !

They do it because their leaders require them to do it or they are banished from their friends and family forever.

You dont wanna COMPACT the soil or the planter wont plant deep enough because the soil is too compacted

Also disks do the opposite of compacting the soil. Culti- mulcher or culti- packer for that . Actually a better way to beat down clumpy soil and sod

How absolutely beautiful to watch. Love the colt following them in the second field . . . Would have made for some tremendous photography moments.

Kicking pins- universal. Somewhere across the universe is a farming being trying to hook up one of the weird implements, and kicking the hitch pin.
Just think what is required to be a horse farmer. Must be a ferrier, a vet, a nutritionist, . Must grow your own hay. Oats , pastureland.
FINALLY, got a chance to see the real HORSEPOWER...YES!!

Horrors, what did they do with them? ! Draft horses can work hard their whole life and last till late teens or more!
All of my horses have lived to 30 or more years. Riding horses, not work horses.
This is what you call clean energy...👌
Why do they use six horses when two are doing the job and the other ones are there just for the ride?
You have good farmland. 👍
Not a plow. It’s a disk and it’s not a harrow either. It’s not a harrow, or a disk harrow. It’s just a 10 foot disk
a harrow has thinner than chisel plow teeth , closer together and some arranged and designed differently. used to straighten the hill that a disk leaves and pull out stalks and clods . basically doing what a drag does but cultivates alittle
Theirs old tradition is beautiful and attractive for me
It’s a art just to work that many horses.
Actually it isn't art. It's training.
@@geschichtenschreiber true but you always have one horse. If you ever worked with horses it’s a pain in the ass it’s an art.
@@raycity1234 True that I only work with one at a time. And they are bitches too. LOL
Looks like he's training two of them they're not actually hooked up to the hitch.

m'étonnerais, a l'époque ils avaient pas les moyen d'avoir 6 chevaux
Only 4 horses were hitched to the disk. Look closer!
right, I think the young horses on the outside are just getting some training
So the wiffle trees and eveners are that are attached to the tugs on those outside horses are not attached to the discs. I must be imagining things.
@@ronbiggar6958 they're attached alright, but ion a way that they are not pulling
He has the evener on top of the disk. Using 4 horses to move the disk to the field. Drops the cart, puts on the evener and everyone goes to work.
In a day, how long a horse can wok to plow?? And in a week, how many days does a horse resdy to work ??

Yes. Poor camera work. Couldn't watch very long. Annoying talking ...
The foal is following behind the disc harrow because mom has to go to work, and the baby doesn't want to be left behind.

City slickers. Its not a plow. Its a feild disc. Or disc harrow . Still a great concept.
Video starts at 9:00
They're not plowing, they are discing, and looks like 3 horse too many.
the amish know how to use horses wind your neck and leave them alone okay
I agree a plastic bucket isn't safe to sit on at all. I'm guessing in some other districts the man would be walking behind the disk, based on the beliefs and thoughts of the bishop and the community at large
IT IS CALLED A DISC ,,, NOTHING ELSE a harrow is another implement and
we use to call them a tandem disc
U are correct
The first challenge is to handle that many horses all tied to each other, glad them days are over for me!
A quadriga, like Charelton Heston did.
the Baby-Blue hat of the old guy is very Amish!
AHHH, 6 hp like my ol cub cadet 60; she's still eating grass today 😆👍

Shold hook the cult up hes wanting to work like the bigs
Technically speaking a draft horse is 15 hp so more than 60 hp plough
Which country?
Frumoasa munca de fermier cu cai,dar si grea
The two outside horses were not pulling... Perhaps in training
He didn’t need all six to get to the field. Once he got to the field, all six were put to work.
That’s not a plow.!!! It’s a disk. It chops the soil into more of a fine powder so Plants can grow because they can’t grow through the clumps
All those horses probably cost more than 1 lawn mower
To which country it is place...... Nice video

I've taught the Amish barn restoration. That man just removed his team from the scene.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Even though it rolls its not heavy its got to be pulled the faster the better so big hitch is good
