The swinging drawbar is better for turning when you are using pull type implements. The swinging drawbar is almost a necessity for pulling a row crop cultivator when a listers is used for planting. The lister is a planter that digs a furrow for the planting of the seed and the dirt that is removed is piled in-between the seed furrows. This was typically 38 or 40 inch row spacing. When you pulled the cultivator (go devil) your tractor wheels would slide from side to side of this mound of soil and the cultivator could remain centered because the drawbar would swing. The planter replaced the lister in Iowa about thirty to forty years ago.
