Swinging Drawbars; Sliding Type Swinging Drawbar - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATION

SWINGING DRAWBARS

Two types of swinging drawbar are available. The
sliding type is illustrated in Figure 165. This drawbar
may be installed as part of a tow hitch or as an
independent unit.
The roller type, shown in Figure 168, is
recommended when heavy draft, trailed equipment
is used for extended periods. This drawbar is
mounted on rollers and offers additional turning ease
when compared with the sliding type.

Sliding Type Swinging Drawbar

The drawbar (2) pivots about a single pin at the front
end so as to allow the rear of the drawbar to swing
the full width of the hanger. By inserting the swing
limiter pins (1) in the appropriate holes, restricted
movement of the drawbar is permitted. Alternatively,
the drawbar can be pinned in any one of three
positions by insertion of the pins in the appropriate
holes. In Figure 165, the drawbar is shown pinned in
the central position to prevent swinging.
Pin the drawbar to prevent swinging when pulling
equipment which requires accurate positioning and

when transporting equipment.
Allow the drawbar to swing when pulling ground
engaging equipment which does not require
accurate positioning. This will make steering and
turning easier.
WARNING
Always secure the drawbar to prevent swinging
when transporting equipment or when operating any
but ground engaging equipment.
The drawbar is adjustable for height and projection
relative to the end of the P.T.O. shaft. To vary the
height of the drawbar/implement hitch point, remove
the drawbar and invert it.
