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. To increase the speed at which the implement enters the ground, hold lever in forward detent. Hitch will lower at the drop rate selected.
