880 wheatland drawbar

[tom upton]

Just looking thru some old 880 brochures and noticed the option of a wheatland drawbar with platform. If you look close at drawbar it has an extra crosser for drawbar to set on,drawbar frame looks wider than what I have on both of mine, plus what looks like a checkerplate platform. I have never seen this option on a 880 wheatland. Just wondering if anyone has seen this before, or even better has good close up pics of one as I am thinking I might try to replicate this on one of my 880 wheatlands?

Can't say that I have seen one of those rear platforms. Good luck. GG Wes

That looks like an orchard drawbar

Tom Upton, I just looked at AGCO Parts Book Online and they show four different drawbars, two for High Crop tractors, one for Row Crop and the Orchard like the one in your picture. In general Wheatland tractors have the Wide Swinging Drawbar, similar to the Orchard without the step / platform. I think Oliver / White offered the wide swing drawbar at least through the 55 series tractors.
