[AT] saga/rope/F-20

[CEE VILL]

Ed,

We put a double piece of bailing wire on the tractor end of the trip rope.  
It would be bent into a hook shape and hooked thru a hole in the tractor 
seat.  When the hitch tripped and unhooked, the wire hook straightened to 
release the rope.  The rope rarely broke.  A lot faster to rebend the wire 
than repair the rope.  You might want to try that the next time you plow 
with an  F-20 and a little genius plow.
