Coincidentally I've just finished reading Paul Heiney's book "Pulling Punches" which includes a chapter on harvesting with a horse-drawn reaper.

The book descibes PH's experience of working on Roger and Cheryl Clark's farm in Suffolk which they run on traditional lines with heavy horses (Suffolk Punches).

If you kept heavy horses you'd probably be able to charge people to come and watch you do your harvesting .

If you're into horses, that would be an excellent way to do it
