My Car: Other Non-Hybrid Package: N/A Nominated 1 Time in 1 Post TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 1 |  Gas prices drive farmer to use mules! High gas prices drive farmer to switch to mules Wed May 21, 7:51 PM ET MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. - High gas prices have driven a Warren County farmer and his sons to hitch a tractor rake to a pair of mules to gather hay from their fields. T.R. Raymond bought Dolly and Molly at the Dixon mule sale last year. Son Danny Raymond trained them and also modified the tractor rake so the mules could pull it.

Actually, wouldn't "half"-assing it be if it was a hybrid-drive? This could lead to the zero-emissions, horse-electric hybrid Prius! and the oxen-electric hybrid semi-truck! (it already takes hypermilers an hour to get to work, why not use a horse? Top speed is what? 40mph?) Last edited by Rybold; 05-22-2008 at 03:08 PM. Reason: added info | |
