Abstract
Many agricultural vehicles utilize a drawbar to pull an implement. Generally, drawbars are mounted to the vehicle at one end and mounted to a drawbar hanger at another end. A drawbar hanger is commonly coupled to a frame rear end of a vehicle with a set of brackets. During towing operations, the implement may exert varying amounts of force on the drawbar. As such, the drawbar may exert varying amounts of force on the drawbar hanger, which may exert varying amounts of force on the frame rear end of the vehicle. As such, the brackets coupling the drawbar hanger to the frame rear end may experience deformation and/or stress, which, in turn, may cause deformation and overloading of the frame rear end of the vehicle. As such, a vehicle for providing improved load distribution while towing an implement would be useful.
