Inside
Control
Lever
(Position Control)
This lever
is used to raise
and lower
the
hitch
and
to level
the plow.
(When beginning
to operate in
the field,
place the outside
draft
control
lever in
the extreme
forward
position).
See
lllust. 7.
In-The-Furrow
Operation
The location of
the inside lever in
the
quadrant indicates
the relative plowing
depth
obtained. When
the lever is
placed
just before
the offset
near the front
end of
the
quadrant, maximum
depth is obtained.
As
the
lever is
moved
toward the
"RAISE"
position,
shallower
depths will be obtained.
Use
this lever
to establish
the desired work-
ing
depth
in
the field.
See
lllust. 7.
The adjusting
stop may be set to
help
locate the lever
setting.
It can then
also be
by -passed when needed
(as
for quick
entry
into the ground).

2. Draft
Control
(Not
recommended
for
on
the land
operation)
Draft
control is
that function
of
the trac-
tor
hitch
which responds
to variations
in
draft and does it
quick
enough to maintain
a
nearly constant
load
on
the
tractor.
When
the load on
the hitch
increases, the
hitch
responds
by shallowing
the front
end of the
plow,
which transfers
increased
weight to
the
tractor,
thus increasing
traction. A
choice of
two methods of
employing
"Draft
Control"
is available
as follows.
