My father in law used to tell of making a sled and mounting two crosscut saws on the edges with the back of the saw sharpened, it was used the same way and pulled by one horse (old Pete). They would have two people riding the sled and catching arm loads of corn, stop old Pete and law the corn across a wagon to be taken to the chopper and blown into the silo. Talk about a sore back, a week or two of that and it would take the fun out of it. Just thought you might want to hear what came to mind as I read your post and remembered Dad.
