Implements for Farming with Horses & Mules - A Modern All-In-One Manual by Sam Moore. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about modern farm equipment is how little it has changed over the decades, even as the power units that propel it have grown to monstrous proportions. Plows, discs, harrows, mowing machines, grain harvesters - underneath the shiny paint and sleek sheet metal is time-tested form and function. Farm implements are tools of astonishing simplicity and honesty, tools that emerged from the forge and anvil of the local smith, born of necessity, engineered through keen observation, honed to near perfection by endless hours in the field. As if lives depended on it.Sam Moore is to be congratulated for helping fill the knowledge gap in animal-drawn implements with an unpretentious but generously illustrated and richly detailed all-in-one manual for farming with horses and mules ( and oxen, too). Are you new to the walking plow or sulky plow, or confused about the line of draft? Sam walks you through plow parts and terminology, explains how to lay out lands and what to strive for in turning ground you will wish granddad could see. Have questions about the deep tillage, seedbed tillage, or cultivation equipment? Look here first. Sam commingles his love of history and farm machinery, tempering it with the no-nonsense view of one who has worked the land. History connects the past and present. The directness is clearly the result of hours on the business end of a hoe, or a fork or in the furrow. Have an interest in using a grain drill, corn planter, or potato planter? Not sure how to make it work with a two-, three-, or four-horse hitch? You'll find it here. Soft cover, color photos, glossary, 8" x 11". To Order By Phone Call Toll Free: 866-596-9982.
