WIDE SWINGING ROLLER DRAWBAR

(TRACTORS WITHOUT 3-POINT HITCH)

When using ground engaging equipment, the wide

swinging roller drawbar offers additional turning ease

as compared to the swinging drawbar.
Secure the drawbar, 1, with the swing limiter pins, 2,

when using equipment which requires accurate

positioning and when transporting equipment.
Allow the drawbar to swing when pulling ground

engaging equipment that does not require accurate

positioning. This will make steering and turning easier.

any equipment except ground engaging equip-

ment.

make sure that the total weight on the rear axle does

and “Rear Tire Pressures and Permissable Loads” in

the Specifications section.
