Using the Drawbar

Implements or trailers weighing less than 5,500 pounds can be connected to the Monarch Tractor drawbar for towing.

WARNING: AVOID PERSONAL INJURY! Never pull from the top link, the rear axle, or any point above the drawbar. Doing so could cause the tractor to tip rearward, causing personal injury or death.

Do not exceed the following capacities when attaching an implement to the Monarch Tractor:

  • 3-point hitch MAX lift: 1,650lbs (750 kg)
  • Drawbar MAX tow: 5,500lbs (2,500 kg)
  • Tongue MAX load: 1,100lbs (500 kg)

To connect an implement to the drawbar:

  1. Reverse the tractor as close as you can to the implement if it’s too heavy to move.
  2. Remove the tractor drawbar pin.
  3. Line up the implement with the hole in the drawbar.
  4. Pin the implement to the drawbar.

Adjusting drawbar length

There are three positioning holes in the drawbar. Follow recommendations in your implement’s user manual for information on positioning the drawbar.

To change the drawbar position:

  1. Remove the two pins at the base.
  2. Slide the drawbar to the desired position.
  3. Re-insert the pins.

To remove the drawbar:

  1. Remove the drawbar pin at the base.
  2. With the drawbar supported by two hands, slide the drawbar out and store it safely.

Adjusting the Swing Drawbar Position

The drawbar has three swing positions (left, center, and right) as required by certain implements.

To change the drawbar position:

  1. Unhook the two cotter pins from the underside of the drawbar housing. Set them aside.
  2. Swing the drawbar right or left. Replace the pins.
