Using Drawbar Hitch

CAUTION: Use only the drawbar that was provided with the machine (if equipped), or the optional drawbar available from your John Deere Dealer. Do not install or use any other type drawbar.

To avoid rearward upset, all towed loads must be attached to the drawbar, not just to the center link or draft arms.

IMPORTANT: Maximum static vertical load on drawbar should not exceed the maximum recommendations. Drive slowly with heavy loads.

Maximum Drawbar Loads

Certain heavy equipment such as a loaded single-axle trailer can place excessive strain on the drawbar. Strain is greatly increased by speed and rough ground. Do not exceed the following maximum static vertical loads on drawbar:

• All Models............................................255 kg (562 lb)

Adjusting Drawbar Length

IMPORTANT: For drawn PTO-driven implements, the drawbar must be in the operating position.

The drawbar is equipped with three operating position adjusting holes (A) for changing drawbar length.
