ASABE Revises Standards for Drawbar Pins

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has revised ANSI/ASABE S625.2 AUG2024 Drawbar Pin Dimensions and Requirements.

The most significant change to the standard is the addition of a new category for a drawbar pin, a 25-mm (1-inch) diameter pin for special applications. Additionally, the endurance and impact strength tests were updated to a straight pull. Finally, the definitions for drawbar pin keeper and drawbar pin secondary keeper were improved to match the retention method used by drawbar pins on the market.
