High Response Causes More Depth Variation If Soil
Varies

RXA0128366-UN-30APR13
Middle Response Controls Depth Better If Soil Varies

Low Response Causes More Depth Variation In Rolling
Terrain

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.
