Tractor Draft Control
Tractor Draft Control
Dig in to Load Cells to Improve Plowing Efficiency
We manufacture draft control systems for monitoring and controlling the depth of tractor attachments for tilling efficiency and increased tractor life span.
Benefits
Draft Control Benefits
Prevent Tractor Engine Overload
Draft control systems use load cell technology to automatically control a tractor’s three-point hitch. The field terrain affects the plowing depth of the tractor’s attachments, such as a v-plow or bottom plow. Rough terrains cause more strain on the hitch, leading to more fuel consumption, wear of the tractor, and less tilling efficiency. The presence of draft control on the tractor helps create an intuitive way to balance the draft on the tractor hitch.
- Reduced tractor wear
- Less fuel consumption
- Operator safety
- Traction control
- Even tilling on rolling or rough terrain
- Reduced plowing time
