The pick-up 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. Implement will rise and lower to follow soil contours maintaining practically constant depth.
  • When working in varied ground conditions. Implement slightly rises when passing over spots of hard soil to avoid the need to shift down tractor gear.

With draft control lever (B) fully forward, in position OFF (C), load sensing is 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.

For operation with the 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 the draft control lever forward to increase load to desired value.

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