Ordered Rope and Pulley system

[gwpoky]

Just ordered rope and pulley system so we can plow with four up. Any information or suggestions or tips

Thanks

If you don’t have enough draft the ropes will slack and trip under horses legs. Also, when you do have a lot of weight on, if your wheel horses – especially your inside wheel on a turn – slack off, the lead horse will pull the slack through the pulley and unclip the wheel horse’s tug chain. Not totally dangerous, but obnoxious to have to stop and fix. Otherwise that make driving big hitches fun and easy, I think…

I tried four up with the rope and pulley this fall. It was a lot of fun. I will say that I didn’t think it was easy though. It was a very new thing for me to drive two separate teams with only two hands. Turning a 180 was touchy. All you experienced teamsters make it look so easy! But the hitch itself was easy and convenient.
