The Ford 30 series tractors allow you to blend draft a position control to some degree. The outer lever is the position lever, which you would normally use to set the height of the lift arms. The inner lever, closest the seat is the draft control lever. When the draft lever is in the full down position, then the system is in position mode. As the draft lever is raised, then the system starts to blend draft control, and you eventually start to notice the arms raise (assuming that the position lever was fully down and the arms lowered). When the draft lever is fully raised, the arms will be fully raised, REGARDLESS of the location of the position control lever. Esentially, when using a moldboard plow with this system, the draft control lever will be located slightly above the midpoint of it's travel. Just play with it, and you should find the correct sensitivity for what you're doing. Basically, this is a variable sensitivity system. It performs the same function as what Bob has described below. HTH.
