New Horseless Carriage
This is my new gas saver. Actually just trying to get more exercise for my shop partners, Weezer and Ding. This is quarter sawn Red Oak I used strap iron and conduit for the metal parts. This has taken me a month to build but has been a lot of fun and a real learning experience. My dogs get excited every time I get the harness out. The neighborhood kids and my wife love to go for rides.

I’m not very good at math or physics for that matter… How many dog power equals one horse power?

I know its the first dog buggy ever made but it is the first one I have ever seen.
Now that is so cool.
The young lad and I took a pair of child skies and wacked together a sled that the dog pulls in the winter/spring. Mostly to pull back the maple sap for maple syrup…............after looking at your buggy I dare not post the sled
Nice work

no plans I just just had pictures of a meadow brook goat cart from england . had to rebuild it several times until I got every thing were it fit right. With 200 lbs on the seat there is only 1 pound of weight on the poles. the dogs really love to pull I have to settle them down to get them in the harness. I am going to have a custom cart harness built by an Amish tack maker we have in the area to make it even easier for the dogs

Nice job! Thanks for the post. Our Beagles would be great at this UNTIL they saw a rabbit or a squirrel. ;-)

Just saw this. My dog was my hiking partner, he carried a backpack. I have been thinking of him lately and somehow I keep thinking of this very idea. With the changing housing scene, more close communities forming, so that you don’t have to drive so much, I was thinking like you. A lot of big dogs out there with a little training could be very useful. that’s cool, I’ll favorite that for later, who knows? Thanks!
