Subject: Be careful using a twist clevis.


West Central Wisconsin
I planted our 4020 loader tractor this afternoon and after failing to pull it out with a chain, (some ground is still frozen), came back with the two inch rope and clevises. The very end of the drawbar was sunk in the semi-frozen ground so I attached the twist clevis further ahead on the drawbar. My brother took a running start with the 4230 and the twist clevis opened up sending it flying towards the back of the 4230 ending up on top of the cab with clevis still attached. We definately dodge the bullet, so to speak, this time and I have decided to scrap the rest of the twisted clevises we have on the farm for the standard u-shaped type. Joe
