I am new to tractors although I have had mine for 3 months or so. Any how can someone explain in simple terms at what position the draft control should be when using certain attachments. IE bush hogg disc and box blade. Im not sure. I really appreciate the help.

I like JHILL's recommendation: draft control (down) for in-ground implements; position control (up) for above ground implements. Position control is where the hitch raises in unison with the depth lever. Raise the lever half way, the hitch raises half way and stays there. (Unless it leaks down and hiccups back into position). Raise the lever three quarters of the way, hitch raises three quarters....

Draft control maintains approximately constant tillage implement depth on uneven ground. If the front wheels go over a hump, the implement raises. If the front wheels drop into a hollow, the implement lowers to maintain an approximately constant depth. It does this by sensing the load with the spring on the top hitch link: if the load lightens (front wheels in a hollow), the implement is lowered. If the load increases (front wheels on a hump) the implement raises.

Harry Ferguson developed this in the thirties so he could fully mount tillage equipment on small tractors and take advantage of the implement weight to provide additional traction. He and Henry Ford got toether in 1939 and put it into production with the Ford 9N.

Saw this little ditty on the 8N board this morning, In the ground down above the ground up. If you are working dirt such as plowing lever goes down for draft control. If you above the ground mowing or blading lever goes up for position control.

Draft control transfer force from heavy pull implement (in the ground) into downward force on the rear wheels

it kind of depends on however it works best for you and what you are doing with it.
