A flat horizontal bar attached to the rear of the tractor, used for dragging or towing. May be attached to the frame at a fixed height, providing the ability to vary the distance between the tractor and implement to be towed. Alternatively, may be attached between the lower links of the 3PH to provide variable height, but at a fixed distance from the tractor.
A heavy metal bar between the coupler and the sliding sill that absorbs shock in coupling.
