Buck Rake
Wash tubs for baths
Canvas Water Bags

I know that as a fresno. Have a cousin who used one with a team of percherons to do some work on a pond for us a few years ago. What a pleasure to watch those horses work.

Still a few stock racks around here.

Never used one but have seen them used some. You have my admiration if you can run one. Do you have mules?

In addition to the burdizzos, corn sheller, crosscut saws and various horse-drawn implements scattered about, I'll add well bucket, the ox yoke my great grandpa carved and the underground carbide tank used to provide gas to the farmhouse.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but can you still buy carbide anywhere.
