Most pioneers used oxen to pull their wagons during westward expansion in the 19th century. Oxen were preferred for their strength, endurance, and ability to work in tough conditions. They could travel long distances while pulling heavy loads, making them ideal for the challenging journey. Some pioneers also used horses and mules, but oxen were the most common choice for wagon teams.
To pull their wagons, trfthe Mormon Pioneers used horses, mules, oxen and sometimes even pulled them by hand!
It can, but for the most part a yoke is used to effectively use the animal's power to pull a load. It can also be used to join pairs of animals to pull together.

Oxen. They were stronger and could move the heavy wagons.
The elephant is the strongest land animal. -However I doubt if even they can pull 184 tons !
The most common form of transportation for pioneers among the Oregon and Mormon trails was by wagon. Usually wagons were pulled by a team of oxen although horses, mules, and cattle were sometimes used. Those looking for quick travel or who were traveling alone with few belongings might take just a horse, perhaps with an extra pack animal to carry supplies. The poorest pioneers travelled by foot (many without shoes!), some were able to get a wagon-owner to carry their supplies, and some had to carry their supplies alone. Many poor Mormon pioneers used what was called a 'handcart' - a shortened two-wheeled wagon which they had to pull or push themselves.

Most pioneers chose not to ride in wagons primarily due to space limitations and the need for livestock to pull the wagons. Riding in wagons could also slow down travel, making it difficult to cover long distances. Additionally, many pioneers preferred to walk to keep their animals healthy and to conserve resources, as riding in wagons could lead to overcrowding and discomfort. Ultimately, walking allowed for greater mobility and adaptability on the challenging journey westward.
