Just some silly tips - add more please!

Yesterday I went to my farms and tore down deer sets. A couple of my pins on my drawbar faced the ground, and wouldn't you know it while I was doing my thing I found my drawbar on the way back to my truck. Very thankful for that - saved 150 bucks. Anyway, I replaced the pins and put the R pins on top where cornstubble, brush, or anything else can no longer strip them resulting in lost pins. That's the only thing I can think of that must've happened.

Since we're all tractor porn guys here are a few pictures as well. That pin holds the clevis that attaches to my drawbar and allows me to tie down to the trailer; the R pin was stripped. I leave my FEL up until after I'm all tied in and then drop it and lock it.

We haven***8217;t used the hitch pin clips on the farm for many years for that reason. Too many clips lost to corn stalks. Baling wire thru the loop on the top of the pin and around the bottom of the wagon tongue keeps the pin secured.

Yep, a pulled pin can cascade into some expensive repairs.

I secure the clips with aircraft safety wire, made for this sort of thing.

Stopped by airport and went to maintenance shop. Guy graciously sold me a spool.

I recently found these pins, a little harder to get on, but much harder to pop off accidentally.

Sometimes I push the R-pins all the way to the loop-end to avoid them being pulled by brush, etc.

Works if the R-pin a little on the small side - as long as it doesn't allow the draw-pin to come out with the R-pin in place.....
