Description

When you’re plowing through different soil types and notice your tractor working harder than it should or your implement depth isn’t staying consistent, the problem might be your draft control system. This draft control rod is a key component that lets your three-point hitch sense the load on your implement and automatically adjust to maintain proper working depth. It’s one of those parts that makes the difference between fighting your tractor all day and letting it work with you.

What You’re Getting

Precision-made rod that connects to your tractor’s draft sensing system for accurate load detection
Built to handle the constant movement and stress of three-point hitch operation
Direct replacement part that restores proper draft control function without modifications
Quality construction that matches the durability of your original equipment

Built for Real Farm Work

This rod works on the legendary Massey Ferguson tractors that have been workhorses on farms for decades, from the compact 35 series up through the larger 700 and 800 series models. These versatile tractors handle everything from plowing and disking to cultivation and planting, where consistent implement control makes all the difference in your field work.

Made to Last

Draft control automatically senses the load on your implement and adjusts the hydraulic lift to maintain consistent working depth, even as soil conditions change across the field. This rod has to handle those constant adjustments and the mechanical stress that comes with them, so it’s built from materials that won’t wear out when you need them most.

Good to Know

The draft control rod works as part of a complete system, so if you’re having draft control problems, it’s worth checking all the components including hydraulic seals and linkages. After installation, adjust sensitivity settings for your typical implements and test with various loads to verify proper response. A properly functioning draft control system saves fuel, reduces wheel slip, and gives you more consistent field work.
