    Uses no Gas

     



    Trained four of our 9 guys to pull. They love it.
    Mostly because of the treats they get afterwards.
    25 mph is easy and top speeds are a bit higher but to
    scary for me.
    They keep up with the horses when we go riding with no
    difficulty.
    Our 200 lb Babies are being trained for tandem pulling.
    Should be fun.
    Yes, we wear a helmet.

    That's pretty cool. Are all your dogs Danes? They should pull like oxen! We put a harness on my bro's Malamute, she could pull stumps, and just loved doing it. I was going to hook my Irish Wolfhound to a horse sulky, but the guy who owned it wouldn't go for it. I guess he thought Mac would make his horses look bad!

    Yeah, all but one and she's a Pit but a 70 lb Pit and we're teaching her to pull as well.
    The one pictured is our 4th biggest. He's 170 lbs. The others range in size from 190 to 220 lbs, but he is one of the youngest and the most healthy.
    Half our mutts are rescues.

    Nice rig. 60 foot times could be improved with a couple of cats. haha

    Nice Olds. I had a Super 88 back in 62. A budy had one with a standard trans. Not a match for the automatic however. Too bad we didn't know about 9 in Fords back then.
