Hi Mike, I just read a post of yours today and then went back and read some of the other threads that were referred to. (I had not read them before cause I just look for the subjects that contain something I want to learn or if it is something I know about that I can offer advice on.)

Anyway, it appears you are new to tractor driving. If you have never pulled a 4 wheel hay rack then you need to get out and practice a few hours with an empty one. They can get very squirrelly when being pulled and want to wander all over. If it swerves over, side swipes something, and flips over or if it just starts swerving so much because of the speed, it can flip over out of control. I've lost a trailer once and had a number of close calls and when a trailer starts swerving, often times there is a point of no return.

You also need to be concerned because if you cut a corner too sharp and the corner of the trailer catches the tread on a rear wheel, you will be dead and those on the trailer will be going over. The tire will grab and pull it on you so fast you probably won't have time to think about it even if you are looking right at it, much less even think about turning the wheel or using a brake to stop it.

Back in the 60's, our state required all us kids to take a tractor safety course and included various driving maneuvers. Farm kids and even city kids wanting to learn to work on a farm during the summer took it. CA probably has one.

Good luck and I'm just trying to be helpful here so don't take offense.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
