Massey Grain Drill pushed by Versatile Tractor HITCHES Hitches 17-2-30 I rigged up a 13-ft. Massey grain drill so I could push it with our Versatile 276 tractor which can be reversed to drive in either direction. In order to connect the tractor up to the back end of the drill, !took the 3-pt. A-frame from an Allis Chalmers cultivator and mounted it on back of the planter with a pipe brace that runs up and over the top to the front of the drill. I mounted two old cultivator gauge wheels on the drill hitch to keep it from bouncing. I used a heavy piece of roller chain in place of the top link on the tractor 3-pt so it would flex.
