Mentioned below was that tying a comealong from the tounge to a corner of the hitch would take wobble out of implement being pulled. How do you turn a corner without pulling your hitch off.

I wondered about that also, whoever made that comment must have been thinking of a single axle trailer. It would not work with a typical farm wagon.

Yes, I was thinking of a single axle thing - like the disk I pulled home 20 miles, at 11 mph. Short wheelbase, and lseveral loose connections along the hitch. :) And of course, nothing to tighten the hitch up that day....

Got interupted as I was typing that message, so guess I lost my point. Sorry.

Just meant to show that a loose hitch can cause a lot of wobble. Not that the chain deal would work with a wagon. The steerable front axle won't give you any place to make it work out.

And as someone explained, the chain/ comealong just tightens up the tounge, goes from a frame on the implement to as far front on the tounge as you can. Makes the tounge stiff.

Didn't mean to jump your case or anything. You are right, this method works very well on a disc. Dad and I learned all about this method about 25 or so years ago, after we had bought a used 14 ft. disc and pulled it 20 miles home at about 15 miles per hour. Any faster and the disc began wagging the whole truck.

That only works on an implement with an offset swing hitch, like a square baler or silage chopper. You tie onto the right corner of the implement, and then tie to the hitch of the implement, as close to the pin end as you can get, then tighten up. The come-along is NOT tied to the hitch of the towing vehicle.
