Buhler 2360, 2335, 2425, 2290, 2375 manual Drawbar Loading

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

DRAWBAR LOADING

The maximum recommended weight that can be carried on the drawbar is as follows:

Drawbar Position	508 mm (20″)
Max. Vertical Load	2700 kg (6000 lbs.)

IMPORTANT: Loads on the drawbar increase greatly when traveling in rough conditions. Reduce speed to reduce the possibility of damage to the tractor or implement.

The vertical load on the drawbar must be considered as ballast and added to the weight of the tractor. Do not exceed the maximum operating weight of the tractor.

NOTE: An optional drawbar support is available for applications that may require extra support.

IMPLEMENT SAFETY CHAINS

Implements that have safety chains can be attached to the tractor using the tie-down slots, 1, and the chain slot, 2, on the drawbar and drawbar cage. Make sure the chain has enough slack in it to allow the tractor to turn and not restrict implement turning.

The safety chain should be strong enough to carry the gross weight of the implement to be towed by the tractor. Check the implement operator’s manual for weight and safety chain attachment instructions.

Your Buhler Versatile dealer can assist in properly attaching safety chains to the tractor.
