I disagree with this statement
Draft control will not help when the draft requirement doesn't change but the traction does, a lose of
traction does not necessarily factor into the draft requirement. As with a lose of traction the draft as sensed will be lessened
and draft control will allow the implement to go to it's lowest position control setpoint. By which time the operator has yanked
the position control to raise the implement to avoid becoming stuck and would then have to revert to the previous position setting.[/quote]
When plowing with a moldboard plow or tillage tool if ""traction is lost"" the pushing/pulling motion on centerlink attaching point on tractor will change due to relocation(movement) of center link attaching hole on the tractor due to less plow draft therefore draft mechanism should raise plow depth if tractor draft is functioning as designed.
Operator yanking 3 pt control lever indicates operator isn't familiar with correct draft control use or draft control doesn't operate as designed.
I think Complete T C needs to check to be sure "rate of drop valve" is opening sufficiently when control knob is turned CCW. In order for draft control to operate as designed the oil trapped by control valve in rockshaft lift circuit must exit circuit in a timely matter of time
I have more experience moldboard plowing with JD lower 3 pt link sensing & tractor operator can view moldboard plow rising/lowering as tractor is pulling plow turning the soil.

Your last sentence explains why you would believe that the draft control responds to lose of traction.
It does with lower link sensing.
With top link sensing a lose of traction is often considered low draft required which will attempt to lower the tillage implement.
The reverse of the required corrective action.
