Description

When your three-point hitch won’t respond properly to changing soil conditions, or your plow keeps digging too deep in soft spots and riding too shallow in hard ground, a worn draft control rod is usually the culprit. This mechanical linkage rod is the critical connection that lets your MF 135 automatically sense soil resistance and adjust implement depth accordingly, keeping your cultivation work consistent even when field conditions vary from one end of the row to the other.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured rod designed specifically for early MF 135 and 100 series tractors up to serial 439191
Proper geometry ensures accurate draft sensing and smooth system response
Heavy-duty construction handles the constant forces from soil resistance without bending or wearing out prematurely
Direct replacement that fits original mounting points with no modifications needed
Quality materials resist the stress and vibration of daily field operations

Built for Real Farm Work

This rod fits those reliable early Massey Ferguson tractors that have been farm favorites for generations – compact enough for smaller fields but tough enough for serious work. Whether you’re running a plow through varying soil types, cultivating between crop rows where consistent depth matters, or disking ground with different moisture levels, the draft control system keeps your implements working at the right depth without constant manual adjustments.

Made to Last

Draft control components take a beating from constant soil forces pushing back on your implements. This rod is built to transmit those forces accurately to your hydraulic control system while standing up to the stress and vibration that comes with ground-engaging work. Quality construction means it’ll keep your draft control system responsive and accurate season after season.

Installation Notes

This rod is specifically for early 100 series tractors up to serial number 439191 – later models use different components, so double-check your serial number before ordering. Installation involves connecting the rod between your draft control linkage points, and it’s a good time to clean and lubricate the entire draft control mechanism while you’re in there. After installation, test the system with an implement to make sure it responds smoothly to varying loads.
