In Reply to: Hay Rack Backing posted by cooop on June 20, 2012 at 13:25:39:
I once bought hay from a farm where they had a kind of upright brush guard mounted on the front of a Farmall M, faced with an upright 2x6 that stuck up about 6 inches above the top of the brush guard. Each of their haywagons had a siminar 2x6 mounted upright in the center of the back of the hayrack, at the same height to match the tractor's upright. They also had a short loop of chain hanging around the board, with the loop just big enough to go over both boards when the tractor was pulled up against the wagon "board to board". When hitched up, they could then pull the wagon back out of the shed or push it into the shed while someone at the front picked up the tongue and "steered" it. The upright boards on the tractor and the wagon had enough free end sticking up so that they could move up or down relative to each other when moving over uneven ground - there would be enough board so that the chain would not slip off either of the boards. It was a slick way to move the wagons around. It only took a few seconds to hook up or unhook, since the driver just had to pull up until the boards touched and throw the chain over them. It did take two people for most applications, but if the tongue was set straight, you could pull them back out without a helper at the front.
