Attachments Swinging Drawbar Tractor can be equipped with a drawbar for connecting to pull behind implements. It can swing from side to side. Certain heavy equipment such as a loaded single axle trailer can place excessive strain on the drawbar. Strain is greatly increased by rough road and high speed.

Rear roll-over can result if pulling from wrong location on tractor. Hitch only to drawbar. Use 3 point hitch only with implements designed for its use, not as a drawbar. Try to balance the load primarily on the implement wheels. Avoid overloading the drawbar. Add Jerrycan weights for improved stability. Engage the clutch smoothly, avoid jerking and use brakes cautiously to avoid jackknifing. Always secure the drawbar to prevent swinging when transporting equipment or when operating any but ground engaging equipment. Do not pull from the lower links with the links above the lowest position. Always use the drawbar or lower links in the lowered position for pull-type work, otherwise the tractor may overturn rearwards. 25 Series 2WD, Model - 3825 / 4025 / 4525
