Machinery

In 1991, when we started our first experiences and began thinking about developing modern machinery for draft animals, we met Charlie Pinney. Charlie was a pioneer in animal traction in Europe, an exceptional and extremely helpful person. Several times we spoke with him about the problems of modern machinery. It was at that time that we saw, for the first time, a forecart with pto drive, still without on-board motor and Charlie explained us the limits of these machines.

The limits are imposed by the adherence between the drive wheels and the ground. The fact that the driving forces are transmitted by the wheels as they turn can be a limit, creating many problems when the implement has to be operated at constant rpm and power level. This limit can even prevent the implement from operating.

Implements such as mowers, for example, are hard to get operating properly with this type of forecart. This is why, at the present time, often a small internal combustion engine is mounted on the chassis for driving the cutting bar. The horses only have to pull the entire load.

We too, having built this type of forecarts, founded ourselves facing these sorts of problems.

By that we abandoned this solution and devoted ourselves to other types of machinery.

We built a manure spreader, a model like those coming from the United States as well as a hay-loader used to gather loose hay. Furthermore we built a hoeing machine, which can work rough ground and, finally, a hydraulic round bale loading wagon.

We thought it would be interesting to have some more information about the manufactured equipment.
