Guess he didn't get an A in physics. Several of the tractor companies in the '30s and '40s featured a tow hitch mounted under the engine to prevent rear tip over accidents. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike'sHorseBarn 2,995 #9 Posted October 16 I was just thinking if he wants to pull that trailer he needs a farmall cub sized tractor at least to be safe and then the wife shows up with a compact tractor..........and he was screwing around with that dumb craftsman why??????? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the way his old lady was not familiar with the operation of the big tractor. Accident waiting to happen right ther... then again reminded me way too much of mine on the Mahindra... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 2,044 #11 Posted October 16 We've had a few incidents like this recently. My dad brought my log splitter over and we rolled it off the trailer thinking it was still latched to his vehicle. He never set the ball right. Then the other night I was sweeping when the wife absent-mindedly walked to the back while it was hitched to nothing. Not my favorite amusement park ride. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,997 #12 Posted October 17 Yup. Got to remember that any size tractor will be just as happy maiming or killing you as it is working for you. Long time ago during my first ownership with EJ the 8N, I was using the neighbor's 8' disc..EJ could pick it up, but it made him very tail heavy - even with 4 suitcase weights hung on the grill guard. I got to the end of a row where there was a dead furrow. I picked up the disc, eased the front wheels through the furrod. When I tried to ease the back wheels through the furrow, EJ just rotated around the rear axle until the disc contacted the ground like a wheelie bar, then climbed out. Standing up and leaning forward didn't help one bit, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
