Extension Bulletin No. 196 May, 1933
INDIANA BIG TEAM HITCHES
Why Use Big Team Hitches?
1. They increase the efficiency of man power by enabling one man to
plow .more acres per day.
2. They increase the efficiency of horses by equalizing the load, eliminating side draft and preventing overloading.
3. They make possible better seed bed preparation, through the use of
bigger implements and the combining of implements.
4. They are an excellent place to work green, unbroken, colts. Horses
have a natural instinct for following a leader, and for this reason,
work better in a tandem hitch.
5. They are simple, homemade, and inexpensive.
6. The use of horses requires little, if any, cash outlay but furnishes a
market for home grown grain, hay and pasture. In this way, the
cost of farm power is always adjusted to the farmer's purchasing
power as represented by the farm value of his crops.
7. By using brood mares and their colts for farm power, the farmer
avoids depreciation losses and also cash outlays for replacements.
