Darrell, There was an older gentlemen who during the spring would hitch up a pair of large black horses and go up and down the streets looking for work plowing gardens--he did this until the mid 60's. His name was John Petz, a short little guy with a Sherlock Holmes pipe, a golf cap and a little flask containing homemade wine. We hired him one year--problem was the two horses and his plow had trouble in our little back yard garden. Advantage was they fertilized as they plowed!
The folks at Chevron, once sold a horse drawn tanker. With the tank removed it makes a credible farm/delivery wagon. A great departed friend of mine, Ken Stanley built several versions using that wagon. I have seen them at the usual train meets.
