When I was 8-9 years old my grand father worked with me backing a wagon in the wheat fields while waiting for the next combine dump. His advise was to think of the drawbar pin as your hand on your toy wagon. You move the pin the same as you would your hand backing up the toy one. Over steering is most peoples biggest problem.
I entered the backing contests in grade and high school. Had to back a hay rack wagon, a two wheeled trailer, a horse drawn type side delivery rake and belt up to something. I could always be in the top times in the backing but always had a time problem belting to something. I practiced one time at a neighbors place. He said I did good but good is not good enough if it is not fast enough in a contest. We didn't have a tractor with a belt pulley on it at home. Dad bought the tractors without them as we had nothing to use them on.
My first backing contest I had a problem with the two wheeled trailer getting it hitched. The tongue was to heavy for me to lift quickly. One of the judges was about to help lift it when I mustered up enough stuff to get it up over the drawbar. They did announced that they should have had a more balanced trailer to use because of the younger entries but I still had the longer time.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
