I have a 6610 Ford, an 8N, a 543B Bobcat (no PTO), a 743B Bobcat (no PTO, but does have a rear facing male spline off engine pulley), a 33.5 HP Ferris diesel ( 2000 pound mower) with a 2" tow ball, and a nearly new "PTO driven, pull along manure spreader." Problem is transporting the real tractors to where the manure needs to be spread. The Ferris is strong enough to pull the spreader but I do NOT have a PTO option on the Ferris. I am thinking about welding a Vee shape tow ball hitch to an old Ford rear axle, and pointing the pinion'/companion flange back towards the manure spreader's PTO shaft. Ag Supply has 1 3/8" x 6 male splines that could be used to join the flange to a standard PTO shaft. Assuming I put little tires and wheels on the Ford rear axle, ( like the ones off one of my junk lawn mowers) and given the rear axle's ratio of around 3.50 or so, the rig might be turning a little slow, but it might still fling manure. Any thought and/or advice about a better way to do it?

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
