Tractor Mounted Fifth Wheel

Tractor mounted fifth wheel HITCHES Hitches 14-5-10 Moving stock trailers around muddy barn yards is no longer a problem for Markerville, Alberta, farmer Les Johnston who made a 3-pt. mounted 5th wheel attachment. "Our pickup is useless when it's really muddy. We use the tractor to get to the road where we can switch to the truck," says Johnston. He patterned his 5th wheel after a 3-pt. mounted bale mover, except instead of a spear he mounted a ball hitch. He used scrap flat steel he had on the farm. "It's a simple idea that really saves us a lot of trouble. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it," says Johnston.
