Prabhu, can you send us photo's of the unit at the manor? Or even better, plans? I would imagine that once a drive chain is established you could power almost anything using oxen, it would just be a matter of gearing. I have also been inspired by a book that just arrived called 'Diary of an early American boy'. This book has quite a few useful tips for ways in which oxen can be utilised on a farm. It would be really great if you could scan pictures or plans and send them as an attached file. I have been trying to get hold of plans for such machinery for a while now. Thanks for the inspiring text. Your Servant Samba das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
