Joe visits the Old Threshers reunion in Mt Pleasant, Iowa. This is an annual event held over the Labor Day weekend each year. • we start the video by listening to Cali Wilson sing while watching a parade of horses put to all kinds of antique horse-drawn vehicles including hay wagons, people movers, carriages and more. • Joe interviews Larry Robinson - an participant since 2003. He brings his team of Suffolk horses each year and they power the saw mill, threshing machine and more. • Next we get a great look at a horse-powered sawmill with a 48 blade. It is powered by five teams of two draft horses each. it is cutting 2x4s. • The horse powered Well Boring Machine is next. It is powered by one horse using only voice commands. Watch as a 25' deep well is drilled. • Next, a vintage Sandwich Corn Sheller shells corn powered by a single horse. • Joe then talks with Bob Davidson who is manning the JI Case Dingy Power threshing Machine with a 6 sweep Horsepower Sweep. Each sweep is pulled by a team of 2 draft horses. They are threshing beardless wheat. We get to see all of the moving parts! • The last piece of large equipment we watch is a Hay Press/square baler. It is powered by one horse and we watch men hand feed and tie the wires after the hay is pressed into bales. • We end the day listening to the music of Wissmann's Gospel Singers while watching footage of the static and dynamic displays of antique tractors and steam engines. • #oldthhreshermenshow #antiquetractors #horsepoweredfarmshow
