In Reply to: How Draft Control Works posted by hope farmer on April 19, 2005 at 18:11:42:
In general, when using a ground-engaging implement such as a plow, draft contol will vary the depth of the implement, to limit the amount of "draft" or pull required to draw the implement through the soil. So when the plow is pulled through a tough, hard or wet spot, the draft control will sense the increased load on the tractor and begin lifting the implement to a shallower working depth. Besides lessening the "draft" by raising the implement, the act of raising the implement causes downward pressure on the rear wheels, which lessens the chance of them spinning. As the implement passes the tough spot, reduced draft is sensed, and the system returns the implement to the previous working depth.
