Sounds like me rotary hoeing soybeans the other day. I was using my 9n ford with a 6 row pull type rotary hoe. Everything going good, running along in 3rd gear. Notice belt on alternator squealing. Walk to barn and get wrench to tighten adjuster. Get going again. Now I have a big clump of roots stuck in the rotary hoe. Only hunk of debris in the entire 40 acre field and I had it stuck in there. Walk back to barn to get prybar. Get going and made a few rounds and noticed rotary hoe wheel on ground with bolt missing. Walked back to barn and got a bolt and put wheel back on. Now I should be good to go.There is a big storm coming up. I went about 4 more rounds and the hitch broke right off the rotary hoe at the drawbar. It was made of fairly thin pipe and it cracked and I went down the field with nothing behind me. Walk back up to barn and got a chain and chained it to the tractor and finally got it done. Then I took it up to the barn and welded and reinforced the hitch. Almost ran over my favorite cat with the darned thing too because she decided she liked sleeping right in the middle of all those wonderful spikey wheels while I was welding the hitch. What a day to just rotary hoe! Sometimes I would be farther ahead to stay in the house.
