My Uncle would have loved this wagon (lives in former Yugoslavia). On holidays there we used to leave the village at 4am to get to the forest and spent all day cutting down trees and manhandling them onto his horse drawn wagon...

Brilliant. What's powering the hydraulics?

Great mix of old and new, brought up working horses from an early age in some with hindsight pretty harsh conditions. Hats off to the guy whom trained the pair in the video as getting them to stand that quietly whilst being loaded ain’t as simple as it looks.

So if the wheels have power, what are the horses for?

Ah, thank you. I didn't watch the whole thing I must admit.
