Old Horse-drawn Farm Implement

Old Horse-drawn Farm Implement

Uploaded: July 25, 2012

Description

---
Though I did not learn what these old wheels and seat, now collecting farm dust, were used for, I believe they were part of a hay mowing rig, pulled by a two-horse team.
---
This was found in a storage area of the barn at the Tween Hills Farm in Bedminster, Pennsylvania during the Audubon 2012 Bucks County Barn Tour.

Some real craftmanship went into bending the wooden parts. #10243310

Ref: the Buggy don't believe its a work rig because of the thin wheels. Looks very similar to a Racing rig ??

Thats A LOT OF BARN . I need to get out & take some PICS. Thanks for the Great Jelly Fish Search ;o)
Turned out to be very interesting and educational ...

I agree with Jack.. I think it's just a buggy. #10243382

Hmm. Well...the reason I speculated on its use was that I THOUGHT I saw this type of rig used at the Howell Living History Farm for mowing hay. Now I've gone back and looked at THOSE photos, and the wheels were metal--Like THIS one, seen at Turtle Rock Settlement Farm in Erwinna, Pa. #10243395

Given the padded seat, I'm guessing it was a buggy too. Very well done - and quite an interesting place to visit! #10243540

Wonderful story telling image, Michelle. #10243667

At first I though it was a sulky used in harness racing but the wheels are too large for that. It's probably a buggy - a kind of two-seater sports car of it day. Looks like a target rich place for photography. Nicely done Michelle! #10243767

A fabulous series!! #10243825

It looks like a buggy you would take into town to do the shopping with Michelle! My grand parents had something like this when they lived at Inverell! #10244150
