Alot of good comments already. First off, when something is hooked up to the swinger, you can adjust where it is going to follow the tractor by simply putting pins in the regular draw bar on both sides of the swinger. This will allow you to make adjustments without completely unhooking and hooking implement back up. Example, adjusting a plow so the rear tire of tractor will travel in the furrow wich is an adjustment that needs to be made after plow is hooked up (don't have to unhook plow to make adjustment). Your not going to use the swinger as being free to swing in most cases. Another big deal with the swinger is, it is easier to hook stuff up to it than to the regular draw bar. You back up to something at the right distance and you can slide the swinger into what you are hooking up (alot easier to hook up especially if by yourself). When hooking something up to the regular draw bar, you not only have to have the distance right when backing so your holes will line up, but you have to have the tongue of what your hooking up set at the right height so you back the draw bar into it. Almost a two man job hooking up some stuff. Alot easier to back up, get off, lift the tongue yourself and just slide the swinger over to put the pin in.
