Ok I’ll never do that again. How’s this?View attachment 600504
Reminds me of hauling my old flat deck trailer across the yard with a ball on the pallet forks... you'd have thought I'd have bothered getting off to latch the hitch after it fell off the 2nd time. It was still easier to stay on the tractor & just scoop up the hitch with the 3nd of the forks & keep going the couple hundred feet.

You might just have a bit too much time on your hands.

I actually needed to do that. No parking brake on my 6500 makes for a real treat to hook up on an incline so I dropped it on my 3500 and moved it to level ground. And it was pretty muddy and the 6500 still has a few tons of firewood in the back. The tractor had a flat tire.

Well I have one of those 2” receiver pintle hook hitches but I didn’t use it for the 100 yard trip.

So you had an entire load of wheel chocks (firewood) in the back, but you still didn't use the 6500?

Not firewood but unsplit rounds. The 6500 would help probably gotten stuck and I’d have to shut off the truck and put it in gear. And it rolls a few inches before it catches doing that.

I saw a guy hauling cedar to the mill behind a small Nissan pickup a few years ago. He had a 1 7/8 inch ball, and a 2" hitch on the trailer. Somebody offered to loan him a drop with the correct ball but he declined saying "I only have a couple more loads and I'm done."
I will probably get all sorts of hate sent my way here, but that's the kind of guy that the weigh wagon should be checking.
