A draft sensor is an essential component of a tractor's draft control system. It works by measuring the amount of force or resistance encountered by an implement as it moves through the soil. The sensor is usually mounted on the lower link arms of the tractor's three-point hitch, where it can detect changes in the amount of force required.. Draft control keeps your tractor from burying the rear tires by raising and lowering the implement as soil conditions change. Position control allows the implement to drop to a preset depth and no more. Reactions: Danica, tjus77, bearthebruce and 7 others May 14, 2022 / What is draft control #7 . big bubba Elite Member.
Leave the draft control lever in raised position. When you're using a "soil engaging implement" such as a moldboard plow, a subsoiler, or even a disc, use the draft control lever only with the position control lever left in the raised position. The draft control lever is used ONLY when you're wanting "draft control" for your implement.. The 9N Ford tractor has a very effecient "Draft control" The way it works is you move the touch control handle until the plow begins to drop. Do not lower the touch control any further and try the plow at this position of the touch control handle. It should go into the ground only slightly and no further.
