[AT] 1937 Farmall F-12 with hydraulically lifted low.

[Stephen Offiler]

OK, I'll ask... how can wheels under the tractor perform draft control?
Draft control maintains constant depth as soil (and therefore draft)
conditions vary... right?  A draft control system needs to literally sense
draft, which wheels riding along under the tractor can't do.  Or am I
missing something?

SO
