Worked for a guy when I was 15- we were using tractors and wagons to bring in hay. First day, with the first load, he announced "I'm not very good at backing 4 wheel wagons- so you need to learn. I'm going in the house- you play with backing this wagon until you've got it down- then come get me, and we'll unload." You correct the opposite way that you would with a 2 wheel trailer, but I never could really recover when it got very far out of line.

I got so I could get it back to the barn door in a couple of tries, and he thought I was a genius. Subsequent events over the ensuing 40+ years have strongly indicated that I am not.
