Straight Hitch For Goosenecks
 ✖  |
"With this hitch I designed for my 300 bu. gooseneck grain wagon, I can now haul seed with my grain truck and pull the wagon, loaded with fertilizer, behind during spring planting. I can easily switch back to the gooseneck hitch by removing eight bolts," explains South Dakota farmer Richard Anderson, of Claremont.
He built the tongue from 4-in. square tubing. It runs out from the trailer frame and past the gooseneck hitch at the sameheight as the truck hitch. The trailer hitch is reinforced with angle iron bracing. Anderson notes, by changing the hitch height, the trailer could also be hooked behind the tractors.
He had the hitch built in a local welding shop, but says that most farmers with a good shop and a little time could build the hitch themselves.
