Electronic Hitch Draft Sensor for John Deere 6J, 6M, and 6R Series Tractors

Description

When you’re trying to maintain consistent depth across varying field conditions—whether it’s plowing through soft spots or hitting hard ground—your three-point hitch needs to know what’s happening with your implement. That’s where this draft sensor comes in. It monitors the load on your hitch and sends that information to your tractor’s electronic system, helping it adjust automatically to keep your work consistent and prevent your tractor from working harder than it needs to.

Key Features

• Electronic sensing provides precise load monitoring for your three-point hitch system
• Automatically communicates with your tractor’s control system to maintain optimal working conditions
• Helps prevent wheel slip by adjusting to varying soil resistance and field conditions
• Direct replacement for worn or failed sensors—no modifications needed
• Designed to handle the vibration and environmental conditions of everyday farm work

Built for Real Farm Work

This sensor fits right into the sophisticated hydraulic systems found on John Deere’s 6J, 6M, and 6R series tractors. These are the workhorses handling everything from heavy tillage and planting to loader work and hay operations. The draft sensing keeps your implements working at the right depth whether you’re running through sandy soil or hitting clay.

Made to Last

Farm equipment sensors take a beating from dust, moisture, temperature swings, and constant vibration. This replacement sensor is built to the same standards as the original, with sealed electronics that keep working season after season. The connections stay tight and the readings stay accurate even after thousands of hours in the field.

Good to Know

Installation involves disconnecting the electrical connector and unbolting the old sensor from the hitch assembly. Make sure the mounting surface is clean and the electrical connections are free of corrosion before installing the new sensor. After installation, your tractor’s system should recognize the new sensor automatically, but it’s worth checking that all electronic hitch functions are working properly.
