Dave, Very enjoyable set of photos.
On the first one, I have a question about the hitch. It seems only the two horses on the right are in harness to pull. Am I missing something? Beautiful horses. Great having the farm buildings in there too. And I didn't realize Massey made equipment that could be horse drawn. I lived and worked in Racine, Wisconsin for 10 years. J.I.Case was still making equipment in town, but Massey, McCormick, ... all had old factory buildings in town. They made and shipped out the farm implements to tame The Prairie. And the old farmers are just wonderful. Nice picture, but what they represent is powerful. Glad you were able to document them. Regards, Bob S.
