Operating with Draft Control
(IF EQUIPPED)
For example, the draft control adjustment for a moldboard plow is as
follows:
1. Set the upper link at the 560 mm (22-inches) length, pin to pin.
2. Place the draft control lever at the center of its operating range.
3. Starting at the end of the field, move the hitch control lever fully for-
ward to the LOWER position and drive ahead several feet.
4. Stop the tractor and adjust the length of the upper link to level the
plow front to rear.
5. Adjust the lift link turnbuckle to level the plow side to side.
6. After the plow has been leveled, adjust the draft control lever either
forward (to go deeper) or rearward (for shallower depth) until the
desired depth is reached.
7. If the drop action of the plow is too fast, rotate the hydraulic flow
control knob slowly until the plow reacts at the desired speed. See
Hitch Lowering Speed Adjustment in this manual.
8. When the control levers are set for the field conditions, set the stop
so the hitch control lever is returned to this position each time the
plow is lowered into the ground.
9. When reaching the end of the field, move the hitch control lever
rearward to lift the plow to transport position.
10. Re-enter the field and lower the plow by moving the hitch control
lever forward to the stop.
11. The plow will maintain the desired depth as previously set by the
draft control lever.
