Setting new standards for “big trac
tor” 3-point hitching, John Deere True
tion-Trol cuts fuel-wasting wheel slip
page to an absolute minimum on heavy
draft tillage jobs—enables you to plow
faster, deeper, and at steady pace in stub
born soils ... to do better work with
other tillage tools in tough and exacting
field conditions.
Traction-Trol does not change plow*
ing depth, cause side draft, or adversely
affect steering. What’s more, it’s sur
prisingly low in cost ... or you can
convert your present No. 800 or No.
800 A Hitch to Traction-Trol quickly and
economically ... and practically all of
the many implements for these older
hitches fit Traction-Trol without any
modification whatever.
