A vintage Model 718 New Holland corn chopper fitted with a kernal processor being pulled by horses is the highlight of this video. With a combination of Belgian drafts and mules the Harvestore silo is filled. Some Lancaster Amish have transitioned from the horse drawn corn binder in the field to the chopper as seen here.

These are not small farms by old standards, ye they can be worked with horses efficiently.

Those horses are really finding its a hard pull, how long do they work them,

That was about a 50 yard pull up a hill. The rest is relatively flat. The team pulling the chopper works a couple hours in the morning, an hour rest for food/water and for a few hours in the afternoon. The teams pulling the wagons are on and off between wagons. Remember one thing, these teams do not work daily but not working enough gets them out of shape relatively quickly. Drafts really need to work and work hard occasionally to keep them in pulling shape. Pet draft animals that are usually overweight couldn’t work like these animals that have been raised and worked to keep them real draft animals.
