Cambios

Transport by cart pulled by a pair of oxen, and more generally of cows, was the traditional method for large loads of hay, manure, lime, wheat, firewood, stone or other materials before the work began mechanised with the introduction of tractors. In the southern districts of the Basque Country, carts were usually pulled by horses or mules, in which case the structure was different as the cart had two shafts between which the animal was hitched.

Before the rustic sled or ''lera,'' as was reported in some locations, there was a more primitive means of transport consisting of dragging the object to be moved directly across the ground or to place it on a tree branch and branches woven into a type of bed to pull the object along on.
