Did you see this, though? Linked off that vid:

Look! The government wants to save us from milk!

Serious bidness. Guns drawn and shit. We know how those amish roll, gotta go in hot.

The horses may have added a little assistance. Most of the power came from the diesel engine.

Let me guess, you've never been around draft horses.

Here's TWO horses pulling 5500 lbs on a skid sled ( no wheels for easy movement ) with ease.

Max weight for an 18-wheeler trailer is something like 44,000 lbs. Factor in the tractor, and that's quite a bit of weight to be pulling around.

max weight of a truck + trailer max is 80,000 lbs

12,000 lbs on the front steer wheels

34,000 lbs on the drive wheels

34,000 lbs on the trailer wheels

most trailers will typically haul about 42,000 lbs

That's a typical situation.

OH shit... There are tons of horse farms around here. You'd be surprised what those suckers can pull.
