A - Swinging Drawbar

B - Cap Screws (4 used), 610 N·m (450 lb-ft)

The drawbar is used to pull drawn equipment of all types, particularly PTO-driven implements. The drawbar is located to increase the rear axle load and slightly reduce load on the front axle.

Besides having a variable swinging range, the drawbar can also be adjusted lengthwise. Maximum permissible static vertical loads and towable loads are stated in the Specifications section.

Depending on Category, drawbar (A) can be set to the following lengths:

CAT III ..............	350 mm	400 mm	500 mm
	13.8 in.	15.7 in.	19.7 in.

These lengths determine the distance from the end of the PTO shaft to the attachment point of the drawbar.

To adjust, take out cap screws (E) and pull out the pin. Push drawbar (A) and align the holes so that they are congruent. Then insert the pin, screw in cap screws (E), and tighten to the prescribed torque.

NOTE: Drawbar components that are subject to wear can be checked in the course of maintenance work. Refer to the corresponding “Maintenance” section. Replace, if necessary.

NOTE: Towing on public roads with the drawbar set to one side is not permitted!
