They were common in ND before 4wd tractors became avalible. Many 2 tractor hitches were built and even some with 3. There is one at the Drake threshing show grounds that is 2 Oliver wheatland models hooked together with an extra engine installed on each tractor. The extra 4 cyl engines are belt and gear driven to the belt pullys on the tractors. The old blacksmith that built this rig showed a lot skill at adapting surplus hydraulic aircraft actuators to work clutch,throttle,gear shift etc.He pulled two 4 bottom plow/packer/pony drill units with it,and had electric trip actuators for the plows/drills built from Ford starters with a light cable wrapped on the armature shaft.
