Using Draft Control

The hydraulic hitch system is equipped with a variable draft control system.

Use draft control when:

• Working with a fully mounted implement on slopes or uneven terrain. The implement will raise and lower according to the ground contours once a constant depth is maintained.
• When working in varied ground conditions. The implement rises slightly when passing over hard ground so that gear change is not necessary.

With draft control lever (B) fully forward, in OFF position (C), the load sense will be deactivated.

When moving lever backwards, load sense will increase, requiring less draft force on implement, so that hydraulic hitch system rises.

Draft sensitivity range can be adjusted changing center link position. (See "Center Link Position" for more information).

For operation with draft control, move position control lever (A) fully forward and draft control lever (B) fully back (smaller draft load).
Later, with tractor in motion, move draft control lever forward to increase load to desired value.

Position control lever (A) can be moved fully backwards to raise hitch when end of line is reached (crop end).
