Zusammenfassung:Clockwise and anticlockwise rotation of a shaft (14) and lever (26) fixed thereto lower and raise a three-point hitch via a conventional rockshaft valve and lift cylinder. Working depth of an implement on the hitch is set manually by a frictionally-restrained lever (20) coupled to the lever (26) by a link (30) which is pivoted (32) on the lever (20) and coupled to the lever (26) by a slot (36) engaging a pin (28) on the lever (26). A bellows actuator (42) has a rod (64) which is urged to the left by a spring (68) and to the right by a differential pressure across a water pump (11) of the tractor engine (10). If the engine labours and its speed drops, the differential pressure falls, the rod (64) moves to the left, pushes the link (30) clockwise about its pivot (32) and therefore pushes the lever (26) and shaft (14) anticlockwise to raise the hitch. By thus using coolant pressure as a measure of engine speed a simple means of implementing draft load control is provided.
