What do you guys think? Is one horse power enough to tow my Glastron around?

I think you will find it a bit light when trying to stop while going down a hill :yikes:

Don't laugh too hard ... in the Fremont area, it is not uncommon to see a 14' row boat being towed behind an Amish buggy!

how many miles to the gallon

waterfoul was up around grand rapids last year.

You're also going to have to pay close attention to the fuel that you put in that thing.....cause the exhaust can gag a maggot!!!!!

[waterfoul]

Gallons of what? Oats? Grain? Hay?

:D

May have missed it but I don't see a hitch...

Get yourself a few more and you'll be all set.

That's why I always keep a roll of duct tape with me!!!

[frenchriver1]

I suppose you could duct tape the trailer to the horse's tail, or the driver could just reach back and hold the trailer's tongue......

Very true. Almost ran into one on my way to Hesperia on day. :yikes: Those buggies need tall orange flags like they have on beach vehicles.

"or the driver could just reach back and hold the trailer's tongue......"

Very Unsafe! His hand would get wet from the trailer's saliva and slip out of the driver's grip!

Anyone who would try to haul a trailer with this rig is a few bricks short of a full load anyway, so let the fool do his thing, and just stay as far back as possible on the road, and don't step in it...

Well if you look at it right.... the horse is already towing a trailer. In Michigan if you want to haul a second trailer, the first must be on a 5th wheel hitch if I'm not mistaken... would be kinda hard to hook a 5th wheel trailer up to the top of a horse's back don't ya think??? Perhaps a custom saddle design with the hitch ball in the middle of it???

[bklompy]

nope just need a fifth wheel plate in place of the seat to engage the king pin

I dont know how many cubic inches that motor is, but I bet it's about 1 horse power... :)
