| Does anybody use a quick hitch on there chopper or baler. Wondering how they work. If you were to have the wagon tung propped up with pin already in, could you back into it and it would lock. |

I think you are talking about 2 kinds of hitches... with the 'snap coupler' you can back into the immpliment... ...anything with pins? probably not. guess you need to explain a little more your question.

| Sorry. On the back of some pull type choppers you can get a hitch with a rope you pull and releases the wagon. Some guys put them on small square balers. I was wondering if you could prop the tung up and back into it if it would hitch. |

We had hitches like that years ago on silage wagons, don't know what kind or where we got them but they worked good, that was 30+ years ago. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |

Short answer yes, it will hook. If you have level ground and can suspend the tongue, not tung, at just the right height. Look at http://www.bergmanmfg.com/ for ideas to maybe lift the tongue as you back. Or just use extendable tongue. |

| Oh haha the auto correct was changing it and I didn't notice. IV seen them at farm shows. The one I'm talking about is made by like new holland for there choppers. I'm pritty sure that's where the parts guy at my dealer pulled price from. Think they called it automatic wagon hitch in the optional equipment section |

There was or maybe still a company in Ontario that made hitches like that called 'Waggon Snagger'. We set up in the booth beside them on year at a farm show and they had an electric garden tractor with the hitch. They hitched and un- hitched that thing about once a minute for four days and about drove us crazy. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| There was one set up advertised in Hoards Dairyman that would scoop up and align the tongue and latch automatically. Released with a rope pull. Don't remember the name but it used to be in the classified section all the time. rw |

I know what you are talking about, I thought maybe you could get some ideas from the link for having it lift the tongue instead of having it suspended. |

| Oh ok thank you. I did look at it. The problem with that would be the thrower would be in the way. |
