The
paaltjasker was built in 1970 in
Allingawier and is part of the Aldfaers Erf Route, a route along museums in Allingawier,
Exmorra and
Piaam.
[1]
The tjasker has four
Common sails, which have a span of 5.45 metres (17 ft 11 in) and can pump water in a circuit. The tjasker is owned by Stichting Aldfears Erf and can be visited when the museum is open.
[2] The name is derived from the nearby farmhouse, also part of the museum, called De izeren kou (English: The iron cow).

The
boktjasker was at first located near
Blessum where it drained a meadow. It was replaced by a metal
windpump in 1954 and donated to the Friese Maatschappij voor de Landbouw Frisian Cooperation for Agriculture who restored it and erected it near
Ryptsjerk though without making it functional.
[4] It was moved again in 1972 and now drains some plots of meadow north of Augustinusga.
[5] After 1972 it was also restored in 1988 and 2012. It is one of only three remaining boktjaskers. The
Common sails have a span of 5.80 metres (19 ft 0 in). The tjasker is owned by municipally
Achtkarspelen and can be easily reached on foot from the public road.

This
paaltjasker was built in 1976 near a nursing home in
Bolsward
[7] by the cousins Smid of Giethoorn who took over the assignment from well known tjasker builder R. W. Dijksma after his death.
[8] Though restored in 1988 it has since fallen into disrepair and is not in working order. The
Common sails have a span of 5.20 metres (17 ft 1 in). Municipally
Súdwest Fryslân is the owner.

The
paaltjasker was built in 1975 by the cousins Smit from
Giethoorn taking over the assignment from Dijksma after his death. It was located east of
Sneek.
[8] It was dismantled and put into storage in 1980 after it was damaged in a storm. The mill was restored and erected in a nature reserve of

The
paaltjasker was built around the end of the 19th century. It was rediscovered by association Vesuvius from
Elsloo and restored to working order in 1978. Since then it is owned by

The
paaltjasker was built in 1915 by R.W. Dijksma as requested by farmer J. Noordenbos.
[16] It is the only tjasker in the Netherlands that has remained functional in its original location. It is situated between

The
paaltjasker was built in 2002 by a group of volunteers for open-air museum It Damshûs in
Nij Beets. The museum shows aspects of the former
peat industry and the mill can be used to regulate the water level in the peat extraction pit. The tjasker can be visited during opening hours of the museum.

The
boktjasker was at first built in 1967 and drained nature reserve De Bonne Brekken in
Wijckel. It was damaged in a storm in 2001 and dismantled. The remnants were left in storage until the mill was restored in 2007 and re-erected in nature reserve
De Rottige Meenthe. The tjasker is owned by
Staatsbosbeheer and pumps water between two former
peat extraction pits. The four
Common sails have a span of 5.40 metres (17 ft 9 in). It is one of only three remaining boktjaskers.

The
paaltjasker was built in 1973 by R.W. Dijksma as the fifth in a 'new' series of post-war tjaskers
[23] and placed in nature reserve
De Deelen, west of
Tijnje. The mill is owned by
Staatsbosbeheer and can be used to pump water into the nature reserve. The four symmetrical
Common sails have a span of 5.28 metres (17 ft 4 in) and are covered by wooden slats instead of sail cloth.
