Like pushing the forage wagons back in on the barn
floor after first cut haylage. Anyone else use a front
hitch to back up four wheel wagons? Sure is slick!

I kept intending to put one on the front of my pick-up. I used to deliver hay into some tight spots with my pick-up. A front hitch would have been very helpful.

I have one on the D17, but I usually use the skidloader. Have a hole in the bucket edge plate, and also built a front plate with a receiver hitch, and a boom. A lot easier to control than the tractor.
 
Got pretty good at backing them in. Used the lawn tractor to do it later, that was pretty handy too.

Yes, in a slightly different form. Pallet fork tine with a hole in it for a pin and also without,in that case, just nudge it along,(flat ground) drops out, repeat until parked. It is a lot easier than backing, though the long time friend and farmer I used to help, his oldest son was the master at backing hay wagons into the barns with a JD 620 narrow front. I was pretty good at it using the same tractor and many others, but he had a gift for doing this. With a spotter on the back end, you could stuff the barn with the wagons at close interval with him at the wheel. I had some good shots of this tractor, wagons filled with nice green 1st cut, lost them when a phone went through the washer. I took it apart, dried it immediately as soon as it happened, to no avail.
 
I've always heard pushing wagons was easier that backing them with a tractor but I never had a problem backing them. I used to haul in all the oats and corn when we combined/picked, our crib had an inside elevator with a drag conveyor in the middle of the crib, all the wagon and most of my tractor ine crib. No power steering and very little clutch slipping and I could get the wagon in and lined up with the conveyer quick. With a 2-wheel cart I could back them up at half throttle.
 
Not a front hitch, but we use our skid steer with forks that have a hole for a pin. Works real good !

Over the years I kept telling myself that one day I will just take the time to practice so that I can do it quickly, but it never happened. I pull one in undercover pretty frequently now, but I do it with my 960 Ford, which otherwise gets used only on a weekend for fun now and then so it can stay in there blocked by the wagon until it is unloaded,
 
Used to do that a lot, I remember you need to steer the tractor in the direction you want the back of the wagon to go.
 
Good to see that old work horse is still earning its keep! Years ago I bought a old Dearborn wagon and restored it. Was trying to back it up up on the trailer over at my fathers one day and he just stood there with a big grin on his face. He walked over and told me Son if you'll hook that wagon up to the the bumper on the front of that tractor it will be a lot easier. He was right about that!!!
 
Had a neighbor who could back a tractor, chopper and, wagon about as easy as I could pull a wagon forward. He could even back that rig around a corner. He was only 18 back then.
 
That?s a pretty nice old tractor for sure . No four wheel wagons here but I bet that?s a slick way to do it
