Buhler 2335, 2425, 2290, 2375, 2360 manual Drawbar Assembly, 112

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

DRAWBAR ASSEMBLY

The drawbar height is fixed and must not be altered. It is designed to produce maximum traction for the wheelbase, tire size, weight distribution and ballast of the tractor. The drawbar length is nonadjustable and the hitch pin distance is 508 mm (20″) from the end of the PTO shaft if the tractor is equipped with the optional PTO.

The bolt-on clevis on the manual hitch pin, 1, can be removed and bolted to the bottom of the drawbar to accommodate implement and PTO hookup.

IMPORTANT: A clip pin must be installed through the drawbar pin to hold it when the clevis is flipped over for PTO use.

IMPORTANT: This arrangement is not approved with the Automatic Hitch Pin.

The drawbar is free--swinging and should be positioned for the best performance and the least side draft. There are five drawbar positions on a unit without a 3--point hitch option. To swing the drawbar, pull the hairpin clips, 1, from the wear blocks, 2. Remove the wear blocks, swing the drawbar to the desired position, and reinstall the wear blocks. On tractors without 3--point hitch, one single pin is used on any position except the center position, where two are used.

NOTE: Drawbar with Manual Hitch Pin shown.

On tractors that have a 3-point hitch installed, both wear block pins can be installed when the drawbar is swung to the right or left position. Three-point hitch equipped tractors have three drawbar positions.

Choose a position that is right for the job and insert the pin and wear block(s) in that position to keep the drawbar from moving.
