I bought a hay wagon and it has an extendable tongue. PO had the original with it and I'm going to put that back on. He said it's for a Krory gear. I'll probably sell it and want to know if it's what he said it is and value? Very good condition, not bent or welded. Too heavy for me.

Without reading your comments and just looking at pic. I knew it is a Kory tongue. We sold a lot of Kory wagons and boxes. I have no idea what price you should ask. Maybe a C note and go from there.

I would get some eye bolts and either springs, or tarp straps, or something, and make something to take the weight off it. Once we got extendable tongues I would NEVER go back, makes one person hook ups much easier.
 
We're interested in the extendable tongue, just have to run out and measure our wagon gears, we're wanting to turn a hay wagon into a log forwarder, We're in North Central Ohio, Thanks
 
Add a spring to it. All the heavy tongues on forage boxes and big gravity wagons have them. I would not be without them as when by yourself it saves a few times on and off the tractor. Is it really that heavy? I have a bunch of 1065-1074 Deere gears and they have a very heavy tongue about twice what that Kory tongue weighs. Tom
 
Mike, so often we give a pile of advice a person never asked for. I will pile on, but mean to be helpful. :)

You have a pretty good deal there, I sure would hate to give up an extension hitch, they are -so- much easier to hook up.

As others mention, it is pretty easy to add on a spring to help lift the hitch, as in this picture. If you look around you will see the springs are pretty common, and work well. My gravity boxes the springs are set to often be the right height for the hitch as they sit on a level surface, I'm using one tractor to run 3 pairs of gravity boxes twice a day, that's a lot of hooking and unhooking, would not want to be without the extension poles.

I'm only pulling 14 and 16 foot hay wagons so I don't need the length and it's the wife that's often hitching me up. FIL put wood tongues on the 14's years ago and I never saw anything but. Recently found one of the steel tongues he stashed away. Gonna be 69 next month and not quite what I used to be.
 
extendable tongue you won't have to have your wife to hook up. Get the tractor close pull the lever drop the pin no wiggling back and forth.
