Tractor Hitch System

• Needed for efficient and safe operation of the tractor.
• Implement can be hitched in two ways:

a) Drawbar hitch:

• Drawbar hitch is a device by which the pulling power of the tractor is transmitted to the trailing implement.
• It consists of a crossbar with suitable holes, attached to the lower hitch links.
• It is fitted at the rear part of the tractor.

b) Three-point linkage:

• It is a combination of three links, one is upper link and two are lower links, the links articulated to the tractor and the implements at their ends in order to connect the implement to the tractor.

Advantage of three-point linkage

• Easy control of working implements
• Quick setting of implements
• Automatic hydraulic control of implements such as position control, draft controls etc.
• Good balancing of attachment implements.
