Higher Response Controls Depth Better In Rolling Terrain

Use draft control to help maintain operating depth of non-floating tillage equipment in rolling terrain, or if tractor attitude/pitch and rear wheel sinkage force implement deeper than desired. If soil density/resistance varies, higher response setting will cause more depth variation. The best setting depends on implement type and field conditions.

Higher values provide more/faster draft response. Lower values provide less/slower draft response.

Typical load/depth settings, by implement type, are:

Integral Field Cultivator	4—5
Integral Moldboard Plow	3—5
Semi-Integral Moldboard Plow	2—4
Integral Chisel Plow	2—4
Integral Ripper/Subsoiler	1—3

Adjusting load/depth only changes draft responsiveness. Use hitch lever to control/change operating depth.

NOTE: Low draft response settings may slow the drop rate of some implements. Hold lever in forward detent to speed entry. Hitch will lower at the drop rate selected.
