Select Drawbar Position

causym CAUTION: Avoid injury from unexpected equipment movement. A safety chain will help control drawn equipment in case it accidentally separate from the drawbar.

Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support. Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.

See your John Deere dealer for a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine.

For maximum traction and efficiency, drawbar (A) should be positioned in the center, fully retracted position. (See implement operator's manual for more information.)

If needed, drawbar can be offset from center using slots provided in the drawbar support.

IMPORTANT: For drawn PTO-driven implements, drawbar must be extended to proper position.
