The actual truth is that it is designed to pull from a position in front of the center of the rear tires. This allows the tractor to pull from a position during a corner that is off set toward the corner direction. This aids in causing the front wheels to actually make the corner (the rear tires are off set to the left from the pull in a right hand corner, pulling the tractor right) Rollers, spike and spring tooth drags, field cultivators and disk harrows are all suited to making turns while still in the soil working. Swinging in this way makes turning much easier. it also limits the snagging of wide link type drawbar systems from encountering the rear tire and removing the operator from earth. If the draw bar is pinned to the loop, the pull point in fact is forced to the side away from the turn, and the steering "pushes" (a nascar term) dramatically. The hitch on a plow should be adjusted to allow a center pull on the tractor. (that is the reason for all the bolt holes in the drawbar setup on trailer plows.) If it pulls off center, the tractor is difficut to keep in the furrow. It should be neutral. Never use a swinging drawbar (unless pinned stationary) with trailers or other free pulling devices. Always pin the drawbar when pulling the disk Wheels down blades up. I hope this helps. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
