Micheal: Both David and Dick have made good points on this. They however should have taken the oposite approach and spelled out the precise use. The swinging drawbar indeed is very useful when hitching. The main use was pulling heavy draft items like cultivators, disc harrows, etc. It allowed the tractor to turn much easier while pulling heavy loads. It also took shock loads off the power train when one of those implements started pulling harder on one side. Other than those uses it should be pinned up all the time, even moving from field to field with those implements. One other item you will have less problems with drawbar mounts cracking, where they mount to axle carriers if you use the swinging drawbar. I had 4 of those tractors, one without swinging drawbar. It had as much weight added to it by welding and reinforcement on those clamps as the clamps themselves weighed in beginning. The tractor was engineered to pull from the big pin on it's torque tube and not the axle carriers.
