You can also pickup a "set" amount of material and pull it as far as you need to. I find I can control the amount I am "digging in" much easier that way. I almost always use draft control when I am grading. Or at least that is true with my unweighted rear wheels. In the horizontal position it is in 'Draft Control' and the implements load on the upper 3rd point will determine lift height.
You can set the drag so high that the N will either stall or slip the wheels. Then as you move the control lever father down you are setting the drag or draft to be harder, thus the depth or draft deeper. If you hit hard soil you do NOT have to readjust the implement height to keep from stalling or spinning the wheels. You set the Draft lever when you are working with an impliment (say a plow) and you want to maintain a certain depth accross changing soil conditions or over rolling ground. This is the genious of Fregusen's design. IF I understand their operation properly, the Position lever controls how high or low the 3 point hitch rides with a piece of equipment attached to it. When you drive forward the hydraulic system will continually adjust itself to maintain the setting you have set. This is the lightest, or shallowest, draft setting you can acheive.

If you carefully move the control lever, from full up, down very slowly, you will reach a point where the implement will slowly drop. In the down postion, the touch control lever sets the "draft" you want for the implement you are using. Thus with draft control the implement is either full up - transport position - or full down - in working position. Where as draft control sets the amount of drag - or depth of a plow. Position control allows you to set, and keep set, the height of an implement anywhere within the lift range from full up to full down. In uneven ground, varying soil conditions, the farmer had to readjust the plow as he went along, NOT an easy task. Until Ferguson's hydraulic control design came along, maintaining a constant depth, consistant with the pulling ability of the tractor was a constant fight for the farmer. Both seem appropiate for the task of plowing where you have both a pulling load and a depth you are trying to maintain.
Another meaning is the amount of load when pulling. One comes from the nautical usage for the depth of the water needed to float a boat. Let's start with the term draft which has several old meanings.

As much box work as I am doing and will keep doing, if this thing is a great help, it would be worth while to learn how to use it.Re: 8N Ford Position and Draft Control in reply to Clarence Johnston, 10-02-2000 16:20:49 jmck said: (quoted from post at 12:46:53 07/11/08) I have a earlier post about problems I'm having pulling a 2 bottom Ferguson plow and came to the conclusion that there's something wrong with the draft control on my 8n, the deal was that as soon as I put the draft lever in the down position the plow went all the way down no matter where the lift lever was set at. So.does the draft control put down force on the arms to apply top force on the implement? In other words, is it like putting weight, or block on top of the implement to keep down force on it? The more draft you apply, the more force? Sorry to be so thick headed but I have played around with the thing and don't seem to get diff results. So,no I do not plow with a plow, but do alot with box scraper. (wish they made one that was automatic) I also use the FEL to take out say a big rise just before getting to a big dip in terain, then smooth it out with box scraper. I use the adjustment of the right rear arm to tilt the box on side hills to cut deeper on the top side. I use my box scraper to smooth, cut, dig, etc.
