[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 7404020, member: 66524"] When i was in the states in the early ‘90s all the farms i worked on had the 3 point quick hitch on their tractors although not much was used on them especially the bigger tractors everything waa traiiled such as discs, cultivators and planters generally tractors were not used for haulage and the UK type of tipping trailer was unheard of .The abig grain chaser bins were just coming in style but no one would dream of using them to cart to a store. In California we used side tipping trailers when opening out tomato fields and then we used tractors to pull double artic trailers but every farm had a lorry for produce hauling. Usually seed and fertiliser came in bulk in Florida artic trailers with four tipping bins were dropped in the field powered by a donkey engine you then pulled alongside with your fertliser tender and tipped a bin in. On none of the farms i worked on was there a need for a rough terrain forklift or telehandler a small yard forklift was enough.In Tennessee i used to move my tractor and sprayer from place to place on a twin axle goose neck trailer pulled by a Ford f250 pickup.
