What is draw bar pull?

Drawbar pull is a measure of the pulling capacity of a vehicle. It is the amount of force that a vehicle's powertrain can produce to move a load. The drawbar pull is usually measured in pounds or tons and is a critical factor in determining a vehicle's towing ability. The pull is measured by attaching a dynamometer to the drawbar of the vehicle and testing its maximum power output. The power output is affected by several factors, including the vehicle's engine power, transmission, gearing, tire size, weight, and other factors that influence traction. Drawbar pull is commonly used to determine the pulling capacity of tractors, trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles that are used to tow trailers, implements, or other loads.
