Wade, Gotta politely disagree with my friends here just a little bit. The draft control is a mechanism that is designed to maintain a steady "pull" on the tractor when used with below ground implements, most commonly the plow, as Cowman says. It is built in such a way that it is continually sensing the tug of the implement, then changing the depth of the hitch thru differing soil types by varying/cycling it's own operating height in and out of the ground to keep a steady load on the tractor. It's effect "seems to be" better traction, but actually, it is more of a "lighter load" that the tractor is subjected to because the implement is being lifted out of the suck. The hitch is continually going up and down with it’s lift or drop depending on how tough the pull is at any one given time. Maintaining a uniform depth is not one of it's strong features; exactly the opposite is true, as the hitch is always being lifted, or it is being dropped. The hitch height never stays constant or "static", but the load against the hitch is continually held steady. Allan
