In Reply to: Horse Neck Yoke Help!!! posted by Threshing In IL on January 16, 2012 at 10:09:25:
Ive not seen a neck yoke like that either,but thats because its a double tree and not a yoke!!!LOL. made for hooking two horses/mules side by side. Single tree would be half that. The sliding rings are so you can offset your horses for either wider rows,or to make up difference in pulling power between a large and small horse if your team is not matched.Also you could hook your back team on the outside and siding rings,hook another lead team on the outside and center rings,four a for up hitch.Or you could hook two back horses to the outside and sliding rings,hook another horse to the inside for doing heavy work such as pulling stumps. some folks hooked two single trees to one double tree and the they would use the sliding rings.Yoke goes around a animals neck,so they pull off their front shoulders (because of the center of pull is @a foot or so behind a animals shoulders)then the harness hooks to it.Yoke strap holds up tongue of wagon if you have one,or staves if your hitched singly.double tree hooks to the fifth wheel or implement,and traces or trace chains hook between yoke and tree.Basically you would use a tree on a wagon with brakes,such as a farm wagon or coach.A sulky,or such would require either staves,or you would use a breaching harness if you were multi hitched so yoke wouldnt push off a horses neck when he stopped.Kind of personally preference,really theres a lots of different harnesses made.but most hooked up pretty similar.
