If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

Well I guess so. Sort of like pushing on the ground with your legs/feet to pull a sled. It is an equal and opposite thing you have to push to pull, but it is the end result that counts.

Wasn't that like the dumbest thing he had ever heard anyone say? I know one thing, I'll bet after a day of pulling/pushing a plow, neither the horse nor the farmer really cared which one they were doing!

Another 2 wheel tractor was Simplicity. I grew up with one. Used to plow with a single 12 inch plow all day behind the 2 wheeled mule /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Kept up about 3-4 acres of garden with it for 20 years or so. Had cultivators, harrows, sickle bar cutter for it.

Not to mention Shaw and David Bradley, as sold by Sears and Roebuck.

"Now, with that said, does a <font color="red"> horse </font> (with full time 4wd BTW) push or pull a plow?"


My father would have said 'Neither. Horses are for the idle rich. Mules are for the working poor.' One thing about being raised in the country -- the elders had an expression for every situation! ;-)
