Draft control??

Draft control

New User
New to tractors, I need some one to explain the draft control to me.

I have a 6ft tiller on very uneven ground. I need the tiller to go up and down with the ground.
Do I set it on light or heavy??
 
I've never owned an 86 model, but I'll try to give ya a "generic" explanation. :>)

The draft will work on any job that is ground engaging and with implements that are 3-point mounted. It sets the “depth or load” of your work and I’ve used it on everything from plows to cultivators.

Your position control should have a “run” position; this is where the position control should always be after lowering the implement.

“Light” on the draft control lever is shallow; “Heavy” is deep. Once you get your depth set, leave the draft control in this same position (unless you wanna change the depth).

Use the position control to lift and lower the implement and the hitch will always find that same load or depth that you’ve set the draft to.

Hope this makes sense,

HUmmm Ok.. sounds good.

Is the drafts design to let the 3pt float on the ground.
I recall a friend of mine tore his 3pt gearing up by going through a ditch with the 3pt lowed. And I dont want that to happen...

And being that I am using it on uneven ground bothers me. So I just want it to float with the ground and the tractor goes up and down the small hills..

Thanks
 
Yes, you could say "It floats" I guess.

The tractor doesn't care what the ground level is. It only senses the "load" or "pull" on the lower arms.

It senses 3 times per second and raises or lowers the hitch arms to keep a constant load against that torsion bar at any given time.
