Implement hitch alignment check

[Baleforge]

I’ve dealt with my fair share of hitch alignment issues, so I’ve made it a point to check it early on. What’s your go-to technique for ensuring the implement is aligned just right? Got any quick tips for making those checks easier? Let’s share some insights!

I usually start by lining up the hitch visually, then I double-check with a level. If I’m pressed for time, I’ll just use a string to quickly make sure everything's aligned. It’s quick, accurate, and really gets the job done

I’ve found it's best to set my tractor on level ground,
check the implement with a level, and then pull out a tape measure to confirm.
It’s a fast and easy way to make sure everything's aligned just right every time.

I go for the ‘eyeball method’ I take a quick look to ensure the implement is even with the tractor, then tweak it until it’s perfectly flush. Using a small bubble level on the hitch really makes a difference for pin-point accuracy without wasting time
