I have used them to skid logs out of the bush due to the low impact they have on the land. My neighbour uses them as his spring gym / cardio program as he plows / plants a twenty acre field each spring with his. He uses a single 12 inch furrow plow. And acre is about the size of a foot ball field. It works out to about 18 miles of walking a day. So all of may and June to plow and plant it.

they even like to work the tread mill for my buck saw. Milli and Butter Cup like to bring their ******* to work with them. Clive likes to tell me when it’s time to change teams.
