Pennsylvania will give you a ticket if they find you hauling that load on a short wheel-base, light duty pickup! Thats if they get to you before you get pushed off a high steep hill, by the load on the back! Its like sending a boy out to do a man's job! I'd sure hate to look in my rear-view mirror and see that load pushing you faster and faster down hill, behind me! Pure Folly! The load equalizing hitch must be installed for towing travel trailers, tent trailers if they are the bigger ones, and/or "luggage " trailers, especially the large ones. Somebody in this section has informed you correctly about load equalizing hitches. Any camper sales place will give the in fo, or you can stop at a dealer, and ask. Google "Camping World" and pick their brains. They have all the info. but, let me say this: The anti-sway device you buy ahould be much bigger than the little sliding type that you just tighten it up with a little "L" shaped handle! They are ok for a small tent trailer, but not for the heavy stuff you want to haul! Have you seen the occasional half-ton pickup, bent up in the middle, after the load shifted, or the trailer jack-knifed, or was hit from behind? Not pretty! Go for a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup, or something with a heavy frame! I towed an eighteen foot travel trailer for around eight years and never had any trouble with sway, load, or anything else. I used our '78 Ford 3/4 ton pickup, with the 800x16.5 wheels and tires. Electric brake on the trailer, with the hand controller. Eight-hole wheels, heavy duty tires. A cap on the back, and a load of camping gear in it. A Reese load equalizing hitch with the Reese anti-sway equipment. The anti-sway deal cost a bundle, but we were safe as we could be!

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
