I worked at a landscape nursery my junior and senior years of high school, we used to hook 4 trailers together with plants, it wasn’t fun trying to back them at all so I know what you’re saying.

This unit by BJM68 is pretty impressive. I must confess that as I read down the page and seeing more things added and then letting my imagination kick in it started looking a lot like a huge Swiss Army Knife... :) :) :)
I'm always trying to haul a few things along as I work on horse fence constantly.
One of my quick mental additions was an expanded metal floor full length under it to haul about 3 steel "T" post and a half dozen picked up garden rocks and maybe a small cooler. :)
Another was a pair of those hitch receiver platforms like for the back of a car, one for the front and one for the rear. The rear one might have to involve a seat for my wife... I'm thinking maybe the rear one should mount with two receivers, one on each side of the drawbar or some other way easily stabilize it for safety. After all of these years I would hate to lose her to one pin coming out in tall grass or corn stubble.

Farmer, what you're thinking about is readily available. It's the Fast Hitch with a platform carrier.

I have a heavy duty 2 wheeled trailer that was on the acreage when the acreage was purchased. Replaced the trailer floor, sides and end grate from lumber that was left in the old hog shed.

I made a seat that snaps in over the front and sides.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Hi Gary: How are the folks of the Dotson Clan? We hope to make it to the Greenville show this year, haven't been for a while...

Don: I would love to have a fast hitch but my 1947 doesn't even have basic hydraulics. :)

Farmer, why not try to make it to the Barnyard Bash in June? Gary, Big Dog, Don and many others will be here.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Farmer, we are planning to go to Greenville, hope we see you there. We're doing well, just happy to have another winter behind us. As Bill mentioned, we would like to see you at the Bash, as well!

Your Barnyard event is on my hope list this year. I haven't been but had read about it for a while. A few things have to come together for it to work but I hope to be there.

You can get a 2 inch receiver at Harbor Freight cheap that will bolt on to the drawbar and enable you to put one of those 40 dollar or so carriers your speaking off on also a HF...I have one that I put my 15 gallon sprayer on...Works great , battery is quite accessible...I also have one of those platforms Don spoke of for a Fast Hitch...Both work well... :tractor: Dave
