Description
If you’ve noticed your three-point hitch isn’t holding implement depth like it used to or your draft control isn’t responding to changing soil conditions, this load control sensor shaft might be the missing piece. Draft control automatically senses the load on your implement and adjusts the hydraulic lift to maintain consistent working depth, even as soil conditions change across the field. This shaft is what connects your hydraulic system to that sensing mechanism, turning mechanical feedback into the hydraulic adjustments that keep your implements working at the right depth.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined shaft designed to accurately transmit load sensing feedback
- Built tough enough to handle the constant pressure and vibration of hydraulic draft control systems
- Direct replacement that restores proper three-point hitch depth control functionality
- Compatible with the hydraulic draft sensing systems on these classic John Deere models
Built for Real Farm Work
This sensor shaft fits John Deere tractors from the 1520 in the 20 series all the way up through models like the 2040 and 1840 in the 40 series. When your draft control isn’t working properly, you end up with uneven field work and unnecessary wear on both your tractor and implements. Whether you’re plowing, cultivating, or pulling any ground-engaging implement, having proper draft control means less wheel slip and more consistent results across the field.
Made to Last
The hydraulic draft control system on these John Deere tractors was sophisticated technology for its time, and this sensor shaft is built to the same standards. It’s designed to handle the hydraulic pressures and mechanical stresses that come with constantly adjusting implement depth based on soil conditions and load changes.
Installation Notes
This shaft typically requires access to the hydraulic control valve area, which might mean removing some panels or components. Installation involves replacing the hydraulic components in your draft control system, which requires some mechanical knowledge and basic tools. You’ll need to properly bleed the hydraulic system after installation to ensure proper operation. Take your time with the hydraulic system bleeding process—air bubbles will make your draft control erratic or non-functional.
