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.
