4R Series Tractor equipped with 3-point hitch downforce kit and post hole digger
 |

An optional 3-point hitch downforce kit is now available for 4R Series Tractors. This kit is available as a field-installed option only and is compatible with 4R Open Station and Cab Tractors.
This industry-exclusive kit allows an extra 500 lb (226.8 kg) of downward force to be applied to the lower 3-point hitch arms. The force is applied using two additional hydraulic cylinders connected to a bracket mounted directly to the frame and the upper rockshaft arms.
The added force enables the operator to push an implement through hard and compacted soil. This is especially useful in posthole digging, tilling applications, and rear blade work.

| The added downforce is engaged by depressing the rocker switch mounted in the right-hand fender. Depressing the switch activates pressure within the cylinders, which retracts the cylinder arm, pulling the hitch arms down, creating the additional down pressure on the 3-point hitch. |
