On the question of 1 point versus 2 point, the 1 point is by far easier to hitch if left where it is not quite level. The tractor was also built for 22" crop clearence during cultivating. By removing part of the 1 point, (one man can do this in about 5 min.) you have one row 22" clearence and somewhere around 30" with the V or high clear versions. The hitch is also designed for mounting rear cultivator gangs to each final drive, that follow the respective wheel. With that in place the lowest point on tractor becomes front axle. The other part I like re the 1 point is implements stay home better. I have 12 different 1 point implements. A former neighbor had roughly the same in small 3 point implements. He was a very good hearted chap, people took advantage and were always borrowing his equipment. This mushroomed to point where he was the one who had to go looking for equipment when doing weekend work on his property. He used to say, not sure whether its me or equipment that is so popular. In some areas this can become a real problem. Guys will go out and buy some completely worn out plows, discs, etc. for a song, arnt prepared to spend cash to put it in shape, see the disc next door doing much better than own, they compare notes, good neighbor says try my disc, that is how it all starts. My friends owning and operating a 35 year old plus small 2-3 plow tractor and good implements, is no cheap venture, even if someone gave them to you. Replacment plow, disc and cultivator wear parts are expensive. It may be 35 years old but when you step up to the parts counter everything is new price.

He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
