The Big Hitch

Three legendary teamsters, Luke Messenger, Rick Edney and Nolan Darnell, spent weeks preparing to plow a hay field -- the old way. Using 20 mules and 4 horses, they hit the field July 31, 2021 near Chico, California. "The Big Hitch" rolls again. A century ago this would have been a common site on many hay and wheat farms across America. But in the 1940's, gas powered tractors put a stop to that. Now only a handful of people know how to do this anymore -- and most of the old equipment is just rusting away. So this was a rare treat -- a look back into the past.
