I just had to stop and talk to one of my neighbors a couple of miles down the road. We have always exchanged waives, but never talked. The 6 horse hitch is cool but my main focal point was the sulky & plow. Here's some close ups of this modern day Amish plow. As you can see it's a hydraulic reset, using Radex bottoms. The hitch on the plow frame hooks to the sulky hydraulic power unit, with a short drawbar. Notice the lift cylinder and small cylinder that can turn the drawbar. Notice all the hyd. quick couplers. The sulky has a hyd. pump driven by the furrow wheel. The furrow wheel also can be steered for side hill operatiion. (sorda like crab steer on a Case 2470 tractor.) The hydraulic system also has an accumilator similar to one on an oliver hyd. reset plow. The sulky is used on many different implements including haybines and balers and round bale spears. Isaac is the gentleman's name operating this rig, and it has one feature that most modern of tractors dosen't have. "Voice command". Isaac told me that tommorow he was putting the other 2 horses on the hitch as today he was just getting the plow shined up.
