nice pics Ol and Mart....

Mart you could have rotated that one :D

man you cant beat the pick up hitches, i havent seen any of them over here yet? but it makes picking up and droping trailers alot more awkard and involves a load of jacking and unjacking then you go to put the pin in but of course its not lined up 100% so you have to get into the tractor again move it slighty and have another go of the pin.............. its a balls, then when you eventually do get a pin in you must put in a bolt and tighten the nut cos which takes another while cos theres no spanners to be found   > every chance i get here i try and promote the merits of the pickup hitch to the lads   to the response thats only european crap  

[MJB1]

& they say we work harder than they do over there ! in a 48 hr working week , how much time is lost just hitching trailers up 

time to educate them , go shout it from the hills alan , aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhmen brother 

[civilpek]

;D im trying trust me, it can easily take up to 15mins to put on a trailer somedays?  \ thats not very productive considering the pickup takes about 1

No,the JD 6420 I drive has a german hitch system and a draw bar.A ford 7600 I drove after leaving school had a UK hitch on the back of it and a draw bar.

In NZ you find tractors that have both means of pulling a trailer.

I have driven many tractors with the UK hitch system and I think there a **** of a thing myself.(sorry guys  )

I've pulled vaderstad topdowns and trailers/tankers with the UK hitch system and I found that the implerment "slooped" around alot if the hook was aged abit.

Backing up right the frist time and putting a decent pin in then a clip under the draw bar then folding the jack up is fine with me,some big cultivators just sit in the right place because of the depth controll ram.
