Observing Drawbar Load Limitations
RXA0090815

Drawbar

IMPORTANT: Heavy implements together with rough terrain and speed can place excessive strain on drawbar. Do not exceed maximum static vertical load on drawbar for a given drawbar (A) length/position, as indicated in the following table.

IMPORTANT: Heavy duty drawbar support must be used when maximum static vertical load exceeds 2245 kg (4950 lb).

NOTE: Special cap screws are used on drawbars. See your John Deere dealer if cap screws must be replaced.

When vertical load exceeds 2245 kg (4950 lb), attach heavy duty support (F) on Category 4 drawbar and tighten special cap screws to torque specification.
