Why do you need it? Just asking. Most of what draft control does can be done by listening to your tractor. Unless you are doing a great deal of say, plowing.

Which tractor do you have? Was it an option when you bought the tractor? Sorry I was looking at your profile and it did not show which tractor.
I do not see draft control in the brochure as an option.

How big of plow are you using? Is there an adjustment on the plow to set it level? If not you might try to lengthen the right side of the 3 ph so the plow is a little more aggressive. The bad part is it will reduce your fuel economy.
You cannot add it because the draft sensing is linkage and vlaving plus the top 3 ph mount is not stationary, it moves and requires a stop block to actuate. Retrofitting would entail a complete PTO end replacement because the PTO cover is part of the draft sensing components.
Lack of mention in the sales brochure is not determinitive.
Not certain about the M5660 but draft control is optional on the GL6060 and similar models.
Try the build it site to find out about the 5660.
That said, the draft control system on the smaller Kubota models is a bit of a Rube Goldberg and you will likely find it more trouble than it is worth.
