Who pulls a gooseneck trailer

With a tractor

rockyridgefarm · Mar 23, 2019

Been pulling a cattle trailer up and down the hill with a 4640. I always intended to pull my 25 foot flatbed with a tractor, but really don’t want to cause undo stress on it. Hope it’ll last me many many years.

pretty common around MO. Most quick-tachs have a ball welded on top of them.

Hard to keep the front wheels on the ground on my hill.

Yep, me too, have a 3 point hitch ball mount, for towing trailers, I haul most of my hay this way. I also have a ball mounted on my loader bale spear that i use when I have manoeuvre a trailer into a tight space or if a mess in the yard (like today!!).

Unless you have the ball clear down on the drawbar it wants to pick up the front end of the tractor for me. Guess tractor is too small.

SV Cummins, In the late 80?s my neighbor made a dolly so he could pull his gooseneck. I thought it worked good I pulled it around with my Oliver 1650. You could turn really sharp with it. Trailer only held 12 bales that was big enough for me.

I made a hitch out of an old 3pt quick hitch.

SVcummins · Mar 23, 2019

That looks nice rrlund . I have a ball on all 3 scrapers and one one I welded to the top of my round bale spear

I do , here?s my hitch that I built....

Have a hitch for the 3pt, but the couple times I did use it hauling hay, front end of 4020 would lift 2ft in the air pretty easy. Need weights or a loader I suppose. Don?t really like it, prefer my 4 wheel wagons behind the tractor.

In high school I worked on a farm. We hauled big rounds on a gooseneck bale carrier. Used a 4430 JD the three point would always creep up so you had to constantly move it back down. If you didn't the goose neck would go through the back window if the front tires come up.

Ya I do. Gooseneck behind a 630 Deere picking up bales. Found out the hard way to have the three point hitch fairly low when backing up or the trailer will push the hitch up and the trailer pole will hit the tail light on the back of the seat. I have the ball on the top of the quick hitch. It real handy for jockeying the trailer around the yard too.

Wish I knew where the pictures were but one summer baled every field I could get my hands on and a lot of them had to be hauled on a gravel road up a steep grade. But only about 5 miles back to the farm. All 5x6 used a 40? gn on the 8870a 25? on the ts125 and bale trailer on the 9700. With the tractor on the loading end and skid steer unloading I believe I could get 41 or 42 bales each trip and moved almost 400 bales on a Saturday. Gooseneck move on the big trailer was custom made and tremendously over built and the 25? had a 3pt bale spear with a ball welded on top.
