Horse drawn mowing systems
Mowing with the help of work horses, so-called horse drawn mowing systems, represents the most natural special form of mowing. While mowing in professional agriculture in general focuses on with the least possible amount of time to achieve the highest possible yield, when mowing with a horse drawn mowing system the focus is on other aspects. Mowing with horse drawn mowing systems is often used in the context of environmental and natural management of meadows and pastures. These include, for example, maintenance measures in nature protection areas, mowing pastures on organic farms etc. The implementation of maintenance work with workhorses is a gentle alternative to motorized mowing for such applications. As a positive added value is the fact that mowing with work horses represents a measure to support of the animals involved. Part of the welfare of work horses, in addition to care, feeding and housing is the creation of animal-friendly tasks. Mowing with a horse drawn mowing system represents such a task. Mowing with horse drawn mowing system therefore enables both ecological land management as well as support and preservation of rare animal breeds. When designing cutting systems which are suited for mowing with horses, the specifics of this mowing situation had to be taken into account. Work horses naturally pull the mowing system at a relatively low and intermittent speed. In addition, the pulling force of the horse, in comparison with a motorized drive with wheels is weaker and less regular. To provide the work horses appropriate and fatigue-free working with the horse drawn mowing system, the cutting systems must have a correspondingly low energy consumption. Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik provides cutting systems with the Bidux double blade system for that work task. The specific design of the ESM cutting systems allowed their use as horse drawn mowing systems and makes effective, animal-friendly and important clog-free mowing possible. The combination of advanced technology, as designed sold by ESM for decades for all areas of the mowing, and a very natural drive of the mowers by work horses, represents an interesting possibility for ecological land management.
