Observing Standard Drawbar Load Limitations

IMPORTANT: Certain heavy equipment can place excessive strain on drawbar (A). Strain is greatly increased by speed and rough ground. Maximum static vertical load on drawbar should not be exceeded. See Drawbar Load Limit tables.
Tighten drawbar locking bolts (B) and shims to 435 N·m (322 lb-ft) and drive slowly, if heavier loads are expected.
See your John Deere Dealer to field install a drawbar support that will increase vertical load capacity above 2042 kg (4500 lb).
