Bartenura
אין קושרין סוס בצדי הקרון – when the oxen/cattle pull the wagon we don’t tie a horse to hits side or behind the wagon in order that it will learn to pull, because sometimes, the horse that is behind the wagon pushes the wagon and leads it with its body.
לובדקם (Lybian ass) – a donkey of Lydda and it is large and powerful than the rest of the donkeys/asses and is similar to a camel.
אע"פ שאביהן חמור מותרין זה עם זה – the father/sire of this is a donkey and the father of that one is donkey. And this comes to inform us that we don’t say that it comes at the same of a horse and has intercourse at the side of a donkey/ass and the side of the donkey has intercourse with the side of an a horse, for since their mothers are the same, we don’t fear for the seed of the father/sire.
אבל הנולדים מן החמור עם הנולדים מן הסוס אסורים זה עם זה – since the mother of this one is from the species of the donkeys and the mother of that one is from the species of horses, and follow go after the seed of the mother, and they are two different species. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.
אין קושרין סוס בצדי הקרון. כשהבקר מושכות בקרון אין קושרין סוס בצדו או אחריו של קרון כדי שילמוד למשוך, לפי שפעמים הסוס שאחר הקרון דוחף את הקרון ומנהיגו בגופו:
לובדקס. חמור של לוד והוא גדול ועריץ משאר חמורים ודומה לגמל:
אע״פ שאביהן חמור מותרין זה עם זה. שאביו של זה חמור ואביו של זה חמור. וקמ״ל דלא אמרינן אתי צד סוס ומשתמש בצד חמור וצד חמור משתמש בצד סוס, דכיון דאמותיהן שוות אין חוששין לזרע האב:
אבל הנולדים מן החמור עם הנולדים מן הסוס אסורים זה עם זה. כיון שאמו של זה ממין החמורים ואמו של זה ממין הסוסים דבתר זרע האם אזלינן והרי הן שני מינים. והלכה כר׳ יהודה:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

והיושב בקרון – is liable since they go as a consequence/from the effect of his actions, it is considered as if he leads them (i.e., the animals).
רבי מאיר פוטר – the person who sits in a wagon does not do anything. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Meir.
והשלישי שהוא קשורה לרצועות – if two horses are tied to the wagon and he tied there (i.e., to the harness) a donkey, even though that without the donkey they are going, it is prohibited, but we don’t see the donkey as something that isn’t there.
והיושב בקרון. חייב הואיל ואזלי מחמתיה חשיב כאילו מנהיגן:
רבי מאיר פוטר. היושב בקרון דלאו מידי קעביד. ואין הלכה כר״מ:
והשלישית שהיא קשורה לרצועות. אם שני סוסים קשורים בקרון וקשר שם חמור אע״ג דבלא חמור קאזלי אסור, ולא חזינן לחמור כמאן דליתיה:
