Gary: Draft control is the ability of the 3 point hitch to transfer weight from implement to rear wheels of tractor automatically in a hard pull situation. Probably the most crucial use is when plowing. You can do the same by manually activating your hydraulic lift, problem is control. Quite often you will lift just a bit too much, causing plow to come out of the ground or very close to it, thus causing irregular plowing or worse still spots not plowed at all.

Don't take me wrong on the Saginaw or other aftermarket hitches. They do have numerous good uses. You can probably plow a garden or a few acres quite sucessfully without draft control. Especially with an M on 2 or 3 bottom plow. What will drive you around the bend is if you head out to plow 50 or 100 acres, where the going is tough. Your manual draft control will play out on you.

Plowing is a very pleasent job, if everything is working well. Good plowing is very satisfing. Poor plowing can be very frustrating. There lies the crux of the matter.
