mount it all the way in towards the front of the tractor. Extend it when you need to.
The way you have it in the pic will interfere with an attachment.

I remove the drawbar when using an attachment. Many don’t have a forward setting.

I’ve never had a drawbar interfere with an attachment. For me, it’s the attachment’s PTO shaft that can get bent on an extended drawbar when you lower the attachment. Especially in situations, on a bank or ditch, where the attachment is lower than the tractor.
If OP hooks anything to that clevis, it’s going to be fighting that ball hitch.

Most people would have the them switched, put the ball in the forward hole and then the end hole can be used for the clevis or regular trailers or implements.
