Billy: I like that one about getting the blade unhooked. Then you have the guy that almost wrecked his fast hitch corn planter getting it unhooked. I had an experience with my sprayer, design was such that I had to set it down on two pallets, then I almost pulled it off the pallets, half full of Atrazine. That one would have been a hoot, nicely upgrade about 30' from Mama's flower beds.

I will admit, I do like the 1 point version on the 130 and 140. At least a guy is only dealing with 1 point, and one can manhandle most of that equipment. I keep the forks and receivers well coated with graphite. Some of these guy can talk all they want about keeping hitch clean, but I've seen sand wedge them solid after a days work.

My 560 got so loose on side draft of the hitch, it was unsafe to use as a drawbar. At 5 years, I could push the drawbar sideways 6". Rebuilt all pins, holes and bushings. That only lasted a year and it was bad as ever. It was a bit like baling with pins out on swinging drawbar. I have had the PTO telescope shaft come apart on my manure spreader, great for the U joints.
