This mechanism is called a hitch.Ī hitch makes allows a tractor to lower and raise a plow during fieldwork. This is not a problem for modern tractors, as they move around with a hydraulically powered pulling and lifting mechanism at the back. Horses can only drag things behind them, and this could be a problem since implements usually have to be transported from one side to the other, most times by driving them down to the desired location via public roads. The good thing about the drawbar is that it can pivot, and this makes it possible for the tractor to maneuver around spaces. The drawbar creates a sturdy, flexible link between the tractor and the machine it is attached to.

The drawbar aids in the pulling of farm machines such as hay bales, plows, manure spreaders, and trailers. One of the key jobs of a tractor is to haul heavy loads, and the drawbar is the component responsible for that. Below are the major parts of a tractor used for pulling.
