Hitching up equipment, maintaining equipment or fabrication and repair having the the right tools sure helps. Have various pinch poles, crowbars and levers like most farms. Tried a small indexing head lever for the shop and was quickly a favorite go to tool. Bought the larger 48” to keep in the truck. It has proved valuable for hitching and moving equipment or construction materials. Being able to get the right angle and position is the key to get desired results. Getting older have to work smarter. Many friends never seen one but after using bought their own.
Several brands, sizes and prices change.

$95 dollars, ouch. Does look like a smart tool to have around though. But I guess I'll stick with random bars, rods, and whatever length of 2x4 is laying around for my implement switches (for now). I plan to go all quick hitch from now on, and make sure I am storing equipment on level (or at least planar) ground.

I had never seen one either, but I can see how it would be handy at times. On that old video I posted about mechanical transmissions, I saw a tool used by trainmen to get a boxcar moving. I had never seen one of those levers either, but it was interesting.

Looks to be be a handy tool . I've got an assortment of different size pry bars around but none with the indexing head which is important to get the right leverage. Got one ordered , thanks

$100? I'm thinking I could get 5-6 crow bars from 24" to 48" for that price.

Iv had a 12" one for several years. Theyre all expensive. The little one was $45 AIR. Its built strong. I wouldnt hesitate to extend it 6" with a cheater, but have never needed to. It is extremely handy removing the MMM PTO connection up under a BX.

T-Bar stakes work for me. I use the heavy duty 6' stakes...6 bucks each.

I keep one out where the implements are stored, keep one under the lean-to where I store the tractor.

Works great for leveraging the errant mower or back blade to align with the Quick Hitch...

Not a week ago I was in Home Depot and saw tools of this type for the first time -- didn't know they existed. I dunno, I may not be able to resist....
