{"title":"Drawbars","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA drawbar is one of the most straightforward ways to expand what your tractor can do. Mounted to the rear of the tractor, a drawbar provides a solid towing connection point for trailers, carts, implements, and other towed equipment. Unlike a three-point hitch, a drawbar connection sits lower and closer to the tractor's rear axle, which keeps the towing load stable and reduces strain on the machine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRuegg MFG manufactures drawbars in both Category 0 and Category 1 configurations.
