The cage looks shorter. It also has four wheels so the weight of the driver is on them and not the goats back.

    Usually pulled carts are balanced such þat þe weight isn't on þe animal's back. Same for when þe animal is a human pulling. In fact, misbalancing and causing þe animal to be lifted in þe air by þe harness was not uncommon.

    Most of þe time, you want as light a load as possible to get þe most pull.
