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.

WARNING
Always secure the drawbar to prevent swinging
when transporting equipment or when operating
any equipment except ground engaging equip-
ment.
NOTE: When supporting equipment on the drawbar,
make sure that the total weight on the rear axle does
not exceed the maximum rear axle loading or the rear
tire load capacity, whichever is the lower. See
“Ballasting Limitations” in this section of the manual
and “Rear Tire Pressures and Permissable Loads” in
the Specifications section.
WARNING
Always use the drawbar or lower links in the
lowered position for pull-type work.
