Power Trac Draft Control

[duane]

Just curious to see how many of you guys that are operating the 1430 and bigger units, are using draft control. It seems like it would be a nice feature. It would seem especially useful when plowing etc in float when the tractor arms ride over the implement. How does Power Trac accomplish draft control. Do they use special valves, I’ve never seen a schematic or narrative on how draft control is hydraulically accomplished. Think it can be added to the 422 or 425 models.

I find draft control essential. If I do not have it engaged and properly adjusted I do not have adequate traction on my steeper slopes (23-30 degrees).

On the 1845 the hydraulic take-off is from the variable displacement pump. The amount of pressure (lift) provided to the loader lift cylinders is controlled by an adjustable pressure valve.
