Hey, did you guys know that if the draw pin jumps out of the hole on your drawbar 'cuz you forgot to put the pin in, and if you then drive away fat, dumb and happy, the round baler will stay righ there and rip the hydraulic hoses off the tractor (old Cockshutt 30, solid pipe) and the baler too?

I do now.

I like to use the lynch pins that take cotter pins.. but instead of a cotter pins.. I use keychain rings... they go on with no tools.. and are very resistant to snagging and coming off without major damage.. etc.

Those little hair pins to hold in the drawbar pin do not work for jobs where the material you are driving over can hit them.

Corn stalks,tall grass,and windrows of hay will push them out every time.

I wire my pins in and tie the wire on the top side of the pin.

I don't go thru the little hole at the bottom of the pin I go thru the handle of the pin.

Also installing breakaway hydraulic couplers on the tractor will save the hoses most of the time if you do lose a impliment.

I have lost about every impliment there is but not when it was tied in with a wire.

Bret4207, On somethin as important as a Baler you might start useing a 1" bolt with a locking nut!.
My ol 15 ft Rhino batwing shredder came with one. I belive that locking nut and bolt setup has saved me on numerious occasions. At least with a lock nut there is no way to loose it, Short of shering that 1" bolt. I have lost too many hair pin saftys in the past. Just a thought
Later,
John A.

706 and a 4x14 pull type plow , the clevis broke and pulled the lines all loose and busted them . Felt like that tractor leaped 30 feet !! Like most when I was growin up we never had anything that looked like a real hitchpin . Dads favorite was a big valve out of somthing about 4 in. across the top and 10 in. long .

You can get the same feeling, after making a round with your mower, and turn around to go back and see you were only cutting the tops of the weeds, because you didn't lower the thing. Stan

Whats strange about that Bret is that when I was growing up in the 50's and early 60's we never pined a hitch pin and always just used a 3/4 inch bolt about 10 inches long. I don't remember ever losing anything. I had left the farm and in the late 60's my BIL and I were moving hay from where I lived to his place. He was on a 430 Case and I was on a B JD we were both pulling two wagons I crossed a bridge and something didn't feel right I looked back and the front wagon tounge was on the ground. Took me a long time to figuer this out I had pulled bundle wagons across the fields and silage wagons in road gear and never lost one before. Our wagons were all home made with oak tounges his wagons were factory with steel tounges. I have lost fertilizer buggies when the pin in the hitch pin was drug out.

Well Allan,

The only thing that makes that trick better is when the Wife waves you down to ask if you forgot something.

To prevent destruction of the hyd system you can install breakaway junctions behind the couplers on some tractors on the ones you cant they have to be installed on the machine. The cost of the break away junctions will be small compared to the damage of an unhooked machine. I done it too but only once ;((

Yep have had that sort of thing happen to me twice this year. Once when I was pulling a JD-14T and hay wagon behind my pickup, the pin for the wagon came out and it had a sickle mower and hay rake on the wagon. It popped off half way down a big hill but the weight of the equipment kept it tight on the baler till I got on flat ground. The it also happen with a rake I was pulling behind my 1935 JD-B.

Hi Bret,

I got taught that little lesson this sping on a 475 disc in a field of sod. Took me a half a day to straighten out that darned mess.

I pin 'em from now on too. :>)

Allan, those break a way conecters are good when the tounge on the 495 haybine breaks right where the latch pin is.
