Own a Farmall 200 that's a tricycle type, and would like to match up a trailer for it. Looking around for awhile just window shopping and learning. Now I would like to ask this community of their advice!
I want to load the tractor + implement (disc ie), and transport to a friend's property occasionally. Also would like to take to my local fair once a year. And any other use in the future acquiring. ;-)
