3 mule power and no HP...hilarious!!!! Wonder how much torque is there, or is
there a formula to figure "mule power"?

OK, it's time for a school lesson. If you're a "city" person, you probably will not know this. If you are a "country" person, you've probably lived with it all your life. A little off topic here, I know, but since you mentioned ... here it goes:

There is:
Male Horse
Female Ass
Male Ass
Female Horse

When the various combinations are bread together:

Male Horse and Female Ass = Mule (The mule could be male or female). Most Muels (not not "all" are steril). So, if you ever encounter a "mule breeder' you may want to sell him your ocean front property in Arizona.

Ass, Donkey, Jacksass and Burro... are all synonymous (the same, just name different).

A Male Ass and a Female Horse = a Hinny. The Hinny could be male or female.

There's no evidence, pro or con, on a Hinny reproducing, but I would venture to say they do because i get behind one every day on my way to work!

Now that we are all educated on the proper definitions ... let this GREAT thread continue!

Those look like E rated hooves so they should be able to carry the weight just fine :)

Let's see... the rig seems level. Good 4-hoof shoe brakes. Built in speed limiter to prevent sway. I guess you're good! :D

A mule has a lot more torque than a horse the equation is
# of mules X # of legs /stride distance = HP There is a slight difference if you are feeding Oats VS Wheat chaff. I would definitely go with the mule over the Horse as you will get up the hill with power to spare.

Note: this information is Void if the horse is a Percheron or a Clydesdale pulling a Beer wagon.

You should upgrade to this

These are all great :)

Wonder how many miles per bale he gets towing?

In his case, it might be easy to borrow a mule or two when going on a longer trip or heading into the hills! And, talking about towing at a casual pace....

What's his MPFB.......miles per feed bag??

And, we know handling would be better if he upgraded to a fifth wheel!!!

Not Horses or donkeys but Mule power. There is 18 missing or it could be a 20 mule team like the freight carriers from the old days.

This is what happens when another DUI affects your travel plans.
