![]() I think the last time I plowed with my MF-135, I used a combination of position and draft. It can save having to shift gears going from sticky to nice dirt. The draft control keeps the load on the tractor more constant as you pass through different soils. Posted 11:00 (#571399 - in reply to #571336) Subject: Re: Massey Draft Control Question So what, practically speaking, is that 'draft control' lever good for? Posted 10:08 (#571336 - in reply to #571311) Subject: RE: Massey Draft Control Question The lever on the side of the rear end would let you set how fast the draft control would work. When you hit heavier soils the draft control would "sense" a heavier draft and lift the plow up a little to let the tractor pull the plow easier, thus you could not keep a set furrow depth. The draft control would work if all of your soils are the same. I always used the position control lever when plowing. Posted 09:51 (#571311 - in reply to #571287) Subject: RE: Massey Draft Control Question ![]() However, I don't think I can get away with that plowing? I ended up just using the 'position control' lever, and it actually seemed to do an okay job. I tried adjusting the 'response control' knob, and also changing the top link to different holes on the tractor, but couldn't seem to get it right. It would either float up out of the ground and stay shallow, or it would engage too deep until it was dragging a bunch of soil and bog the tractor. I could not get the thing to work good while using the draft control lever. However, I did try to use it for pulling a 12 foot Unverferth Perfecta II harrow. I mostly use this tractor for spraying, cultivating, pulling wagons, and that sort of thing. So, I don't have any real experience with these two lever systems, even though they've been around for a long time.Īnyways, now I would like to use this 57 two way plow with my 593. Now I plow with a MF 6480, which only has a button. Later on, I plowed with semi mounted plows and Oliver tractors, which also only have a single lever for the three point hitch. It always seemed to work pretty good, and I would just lift the handle a whisker when I hit a hard spot or whatever. When approaching the field, I would drop the lever way down, until the plow engaged, and then pull it up to working height. Growing up, I learned to plow with a Ferguson TO-30, which only has a single lever. I have a MF 593, and I just bought a nice MF 57 two way plow from a neighbor, and I want to make sure I can get it to work right. I have a question for those of you who have used tractors with the two lever three point hitch.
