[AT] towing tractors with a pickup

[Al Jones]

I very vaguely remember, but people towed their Silent Flame tobacco
harvesters from field to field with a dolly---drive the front wheel onto
the dolly, chain it down, and pull it with a truck.  A cousin of mine  had
a worn out 3x over John Blue highboy sprayer that he moved the same way.

JD offered a tow bar for their 6000--6700 Hi-Cycle sprayers.
