I had a little adventure picking up my MF 202 with a loader, which I bought last summer. I had driven it to my sons house in St. Johns. I borrowed my neighbors implement trailer, because it had it parked in the field I picked it up with my 3020 JD, I have a three point attachment with a receiver. I thought it took a 2&3/16 ball, but it would not let the ball in so I went home and got a 2 inch ball figuring my memory was faulty (not a non-normal situation). I then hooked it to my HD 2500 Silverado and headed out. When I got to my son's house I tryed to back the tractor onto the trailer to get the weight forward. When I got to the wooded portion of the trailer beaver tail it spun-out and I let it roll back down the ramps. The trailer came unhooked and the ramps folded up allowing the trailer to roll forward off the ramp supports. The trailer tongue hit the bumper dead on the license plate destroying the bumper sheet metal (it was pretty rusty and had been hit before on both ends). I hooked the trailer back up and drove the tractor on with no issues, chained it down to YT standards ( I should have inspected the hitch). When I started forward it popped off the ball, no damage this time it just dropped down on the safety chains. Now I focused on the ball and I got a 2&3/16 ball off the floor on the passenger side and tried it in the hitch and it fit perfectly. So I changed the ball and hitched up and went home with no issues (the 2500 has the 8.1 with the Allison trans and pulls smoothly). Evidently when I attempted initially to hitch to the 2 & 3/16 ball something in the hitch was frozen or rusted and came loose in the trip over(I had sprayed the hitch with oil). The 2500 now has a new bumper, which it needed anyway, I got lucky.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. 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
