| Description : | Dog Tread - The dog tread was used to run the washing machine & power the dasher churn. A smart dog would hide for about 2 days before churning began |
| Commentaires : | A Dog Tread was typically used to power small appliances. Though not able to produce electricity it was able to run things such as butter churns, washing machines, etc... Pitching the tread itself higher would produce more power. As well it wouldn't only be dogs on something like this, sheep, goats, (according to some board members children) could all be of help. https://www.farmcollector.com/equipment/powered-by-animal-tread-power/ |
