Higher Response Causes Better Depth Control In Rolling Terrain


Use draft control to help maintain operating depth of non floating tillage equipment in rolling terrain, or if tractor altitude/pitch and rear wheel sinkage force implement deeper than desired. If soil density/resistance varies, higher response setting causes more depth variation. Best setting depends on implement type and field conditions.

Higher values provide more/faster draft response. Lower values provide less/slower draft response.

Suggested Settings by Implement Type

Integral Field Cultivator

4—5

Integral Moldboard Plow

3—5

Semi-Integral Moldboard Plow
