DRAWBAR LENGTH
Three holes, 1, 2, and 3, are provided at the front of
the drawbar for adjusting length. The front locating
pin may be inserted in any of the three holes to vary
the PTO shaft to hitch point distance.
Always use the close-coupled position, 1, for
equipment exerting high downward forces, such as
two-wheeled trailers, etc. The maximum static
downward loads for these models are shown in the
following table. Use the 355 mm (14″) position for
540 PTO equipment, the 406 mm (16″) position for
1000 PTO operation with the 21-spline 35 mm
(1-3/8″) shaft, and the 508 mm (20″) position for 1000
operation with the 20-spline 45 mm (1-3/4″) shaft.
