You hook to the front axle on both sides as close to the final drives as you can get. When you are pulling the combine backwards you can get into trouble with the chain hitting the bottom of the clean grain elevator, the tailings elevator and the cleaning fan housing so you have to be careful.

Have spare dry gloves and a pair of clean jeans along so you can change after the deed is done.
If you do get the combine stuck, stop! driving back and forth trying to get out just sinks you in deeper and makes chaining up that much more work. We had combines stuck many, many times on the wheat harvest, mainly in Oklahoma and we never wrecked a combine but we were very careful pulling them out.
