Draft Control Operation - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

DRAFT CONTROL OPERATION

When starting work, move the Position Control lever
(2) fully forward and lower the implement into work
using the Draft Control lever (3). Push the lever
forward to increase the draft loading. Pull rearwards
to reduce the draft loading. In most circumstances
forward movement of the lift control lever will
increase implement depth and rearward movement
will reduce the depth.
Once set, the tractor hydraulic system will
automatically adjust the implement depth to maintain
an even pull on the tractor and so reduce wheel slip
to a minimum.
Observe the implement as it pulls through the soil. If
the hydraulic system reaction (vertical movement of
the implement) is too great or too frequent then
system sensitivity may be reduced by adjustment of
the sensor bar spacers.
To move a spacer, remove the nut and bolt (1), end
stop (2), lower link (3) and spacer (4). Re-install the
spacer first, followed by the lower link and end stop.
Secure the end stop with the nut and bolt. Tighten the
nut securely.This is the most sensitive position,
recommended for light implements or light draft
loads.
To reduce system sensitivity, move the spacers at
each end of the sensor bar to the outside of the lower
links as shown in Figure 74. This is the least sensitive
position, recommended for heavier implements or
heavy draft conditions.
As with Position Control operation, use the fast raise
button to raise and lower the 3--point linkage (and
implement) at the end of each pass. Do not move the
Draft Control lever as this will affect the previously
determined setting.
