Abstract
An arrangement for sensing the draft force on a linkage such as a tractor three-point linkage comprises a backplate (12) with flexible webs (16) extending from it. Depending from the webs (16) are spurs (18) which, at their lower end, join each other and form a rearwardly extending member (24). A bore (15) extends through the backplate (12) and rearwardly extending member (24), in which a force sensing pin (30) is received. The bracket may be made from a single casting.
