Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted June 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2015 ...we cut down a tree that was pretty well rotted, and it was constantly dropping huge limbs. Was at the point where any future limbs dropped would potentially take out the fence where the wife's horses are, and that just wouldn't be very good. So, the tree had to go. We (mostly I...he took some convincing) decided to hook one of the hay wagons up to the old F250 to haul the tree out to the burn pile...large limbs in the bed, smaller branches piled on the wagon. Hell, that wagon probably held 3 or 4 pickup truck loads, so it was less trips across the levy through the hay field to get to the burn pile. Got the whole dern thing hauled in 2 trips. Anyway, he's jealous because I can back up the hay wagon just fine behind my F250. It doesn't matter if he's in his pickup or on a tractor, he can't seem to get 'em to go where he wants..."too many pivot points" he says. I hope he was only kidding when he said he can't be my friend anymore... 3 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Timothy Maikshilo Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Great idea to use the hay wagon and tell your buddy stick around and he might learn something 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40590-lost-a-friend-tonight/#findComment-294244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Backing a four wheel wagon is opposite of a two wheel trailer. It does take some practice. 2 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40590-lost-a-friend-tonight/#findComment-294247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Pretty good setup!Years ago we pulled a wagon out of a scrap pile. It was so worn and bent it wouldn't go forward. After a little fab work and tweaking, it lives on. Don't know any farmer that would have thrown it away because it even still had green paint on it!

RowdyRebel Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 It was all said in fun. I know he can't do it (anytime he pulls the hay wagon & needs to back up, he just unhooks and has a few people push) and I'll admit to showing off a little. It's what I do, and I do do it well.

other dog Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 We used to unhook the wagons too when we had to back one into the shed or barn. Then we would hook the tongue to the bumper on the front of the tractor and back it in, made it a little easier...or probably a lot easier. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
