If the chuck wagon was big enough that he couldn't see around it from the tractor seat it would have been a real challenge.
I had a hair raising experience that turned me into a good backer real quick. I had pulled a barge wagon to the gravel pit with my 79 Dodge 4X4 to get a load of gravel. After weighing empty I took the low road back to the pit where the payloader loaded me. When the payloader was done he took a steep shortcut back to the scale. This shortcut was graded up with steep sides. I followed him with the full wagon behind the pickup and when I got the front wheels over the top I spun out, then the wagon started dragging me backwards. I was going backwards down the hill and there were no other choices. Had a topper on the pickup so I had no choice but to use the mirrors to back it down the narrow path. I made it OK but I've never forgotten it. If I would have gone a little crooked the wagon would have rolled over the side and pulled the pickup with it and there was NO chance for a mistake. Just plain got lucky that time. So much for that Dodge being a POWER wagon. The wagon had more power than the Dodge LOL. Jim
