My 2000 4 cyl gas has a lever just under the seat on the right side. It is marked PO TION Control (not a typo) in the forward or up position and Draft Control in the down position. What does this lever operate and how is the feature used?

read some of the archives on the subject and know what they stand for. So you experts out there tell me, if I am plowing or using an implement below ground, is that when I want to use the draft control? Then when mowing or raking use the position control? Since this technology was put on these tractors far longer back than I needed it, how would I use it with todays implements and tasks on the farm today?

lots of chores require position control..
shredding, posthole drilling, towing trailers, etc

however, i use the draft control even with a blade, set so it barely drags.. and in this method, i do the final leveling without digging in..., i use the draft anytime i have eqipment in the ground and set it just short of spinning so that the system will auto adjust and still go as deep as possible.. sometimes even with a big disc i set it as when i hit the looser soils, it digs to deep and would stall or spin the wheels.. so again the draft control is set to lift just before this happens. so unless your plan to plow or rip very very shallow with a small plow and a big tractor, and go very very slow, ,the draft control is a winner.. you set it for the speed, size of load and soil conditions.

oddly enough the early 9n and 2n only had draft control and no position control.. they were designed for plowing only.. the later 8n added the position control to allow the tractor to become the "universal do all" that it is today..

hope this helps.. bill

Farmer in the Dells, I'm no expert but you got it right. When plowing use draft control, which will help maintain the depth of the plow uniform as your tractor moves over uneven ground. You should set your plows so they plow through the ground at the depth desired by adjustments to the plow and the depth control of the tractor hydraulics. Once this is set the draft contol will attempt to maintain the plow at a uniform depth. The draft control gets its input through the top link. As the tractor moves over uneven ground, there is more or less pressure applied to the top link and the lift will automacically raise you plow in an attempt to keep the plow at an uniform depth. This isn't nearly as complicated as I am making it sound. Draft control is automatic and is only a little complicated if you have to repair the system. You don't need draft control when raking or mowing. Wouldn't work anyway. As rakes and mowers are not pulled through the ground there is no draft control input. So turn the draft control on and have fun playing in the dirt. Tell your wife that you are gardening.
