Farmer I used to help, his son was an expert at it, I'd stage the full wagons, he'd use the JD 620 with narrow front, could put those wagons in the barns with no problems, just have to spot the back of them and tell him when to stop to get them close together. His dad would laugh when I tried it, though I can do it, takes me longer, but I grew up with 3 Lamco hay wagons. His son grew up doing it as well but mastered it, they did 20,000 small squares for years. However, there is a really easy solution. Quick attach forks on a front loader, cut or drill a hole in at the end of the fork tine for a hitch pin. Hitch to the wagon tongue facing the wagon, its so much easier to steer, as if doing it by hand, which I preferred when I could muscle them around. I used to do it with out the pin, just get that fork in the c-shaped coupler on the end of the wagon tongue if so equipped, pressure will keep it in place, though you may have to repeat the procedure, as it will drop out at some point. I got pretty good at doing this as well, just to get them out of the barn on a slight slope. Normally with a trailer without front steering axles, you just turn the front wheels of the tractor the opposite way you want the trailer or wagon to go, easy enough, but with these you do the opposite of that, same way as you want it to go, its really hard to get out of the previous habit and they do turn sharp and rapidly, making it hard to keep up with it before the rear tire hits. No doubt its one of the finer skills to learn on a farm, or was in the past.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
