Use the Draft Control

The hitch is equipped with a variable draft control system.

Use draft control when:

• Operating with a fully mounted implement in hilly and swale terrain. The implement will raise and lower to follow the ground contours while maintaining a nearly constant depth.

• Operating in varying soil conditions. The implement is raised slightly to get through tough spots so you do not have to shift to a lower gear.

CAUTION: When hitch is not in use, push draft control lever (B) all the way forward.

Draft control lever (B) controls amount of load required before three-point hitch responds. With lever moved fully forward to the position marked ”OFF” (D), there is no draft control. Placing the lever toward the rear position reduces the amount of draft load required to override the position setting set by the position control lever (A) and raise the hitch.

Draft sensitivity ranges can be changed by repositioning the center link. For further information refer to Position the Center Link in this Section.

For draft control operation, initially move position control lever (A) in its fully forward position and the draft control lever (B) in the fully rearward (least draft) position. Then, with the tractor moving, push the draft control lever (B) forward to increase the load to the desired setting.

Pull position control lever (A) rearward to set maximum depth of implement. Set position control lever stop (C) so control lever can be brought back to the same position each time. The maximum depth will prevent the hitch from lowering all the way when the tractor begins to slip. The position control lever (A) can also be raised slightly to override the draft control setting to help get through slippery spots without getting stuck.

The position control lever (A) can be moved fully rearward to raise the three-point hitch at the end of the field.
