[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 122132, member: 2979"] The stoneboat brings back many memories, some not so good. Dad had two of them. One for cleaning out behind the milk cows when left in barn over night. The other one had a 300 gal water tank on it that we would fill with silage and haul to the cows feed bunks. Power plant used to pull it was a one hp Clydesdale buy the name of Dixie. She was a gentle giant, and her color markings would fit right in with the Budweiser team. In the winter she could pull more than our W D or A john deere. Not so easy to catch but always started, and a good hand warmer. Feet the size of large dinner plates. If you gave her an ear to corn she would put the whole thing in her mouth and chew, then spit out a clean offed cob. Dad also had a bobsled that we used when the roads got bad. Remembered going to school more than once and to town to the creamery with the cans of cream wrapped in blankets so they would not freeze. Pick up mail and what ever mom needed then head back home. You know life was simple back then and I sometimes long for those times again. They were good. :;:thumbsup [/QUOTE]
