The horse is considered a "thin animal" (with little fat), whose weight is divided into approximately 11 % bone, 50 % muscle and 9 % fat; [2] but a large number of factors influence its weight. Some breeds (draft horses) are naturally heavier than others , and differ in size and bone structure, so the weight range of horses is highly variable.
However, horses with a low body condition score lack the fat reserves for strenuous work and also may lack lean muscle. [10] Horses with a very high body condition score carry too much weight, which interferes with stamina and biomechanics. Some studies addressed the relationship of body condition score and endurance performance in endurance races.
English: An Allis-Chalmers tractor with a round bale loader – a PTO-driven machine especially for the small round bales made by an Allis-Chalmers Roto Baler (or "AC Rotobaler") – and a trailer; Fairbury, Illinois, USA.
Allis-Chalmers Roto Baler Allis-Chalmers Small Square Baler. The first model introduced in 1947 was called the "Roto-Baler" and the fore-runner of modern round balers, albeit with much smaller bales. The Roto-Baler had a production run from 1947 to 1964 and then again from 1972 to 1974. [48] Allis Chalmers also built many small square baler models.
A baler or hay baler is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut and raked crop (such as hay, cotton, flax straw, salt marsh hay, or silage) into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport, and store. Often, bales are configured to dry and preserve some intrinsic (e.g. the nutritional) value of the plants bundled.
The typical early horse-drawn hay rake was a dump rake, a wide two-wheeled implement with curved steel or iron teeth usually operated from a seat mounted over the rake with a lever-operated lifting mechanism. This rake gathered cut hay into windrows by repeated operation perpendicular to the windrow, requiring the operator to raise the rake ...
The guide states “a rider should be not more than 15% of the horses’ weight.” There is also a list of options for “The Best Horse Breeds For Plus-Sized Riders.”
A Großvieheinheit represents 500 kilogrammes (roughly the weight of an adult bull). In the wild it excludes small animals like amphibians and insects, but is used for game in forestry and hunting. Examples are: Calf 50–100 kg = 0.1–0.2 GV; Young milk cow 450–650 kg = 0.9–1.3 GV; Milk cow = 1 GV; Horse = 0.8–1.5 GV; Boar = 0.3 GV ...
