I bsle with a bale basket, a 3-wheel Vee shapped wagon pulled behind the baler. Unhooking it is a pain, so I end up backing it up to my barn door around the silo. So it's backing up a tractor, with a baler behind, with a 3wheel trailer behind that. Talk about people skills..... ;)
Yea, backing a running gear sort of takes some practice. You need to be correcting or changing the angle of the front hitch way way early in the process, long before it looks like you need to br changing direction.

You are controlling the front axle of the wagon, but you are directiong the rear axle as you back up. So nearly everything has to start out reversed, to make that back axle go the way you intend, not the way you are actually moving.
Practice, practice. And some days it just works better than others.
