You could get 3-point adapters to use with fast hitch -- I just bought a 460 HU with one, looks ok to me. I think the 460/560 fiasco, along with other instances of IH releasing tractors before the engineers were ready to was a far bigger problem. They had a couple (at least) of lousy CEO's. The TD (forgot the number) was recalled and scrapped. Although, failure to meet the competition, in this case mainly Deere, was the biggest problem. Deeres new generation tractors killed IH, although it took 25 years. Along with continual labor-management problems. Deere wanted IH to license fast hitch to them -- If IH had done so, fast hitch would be the standard, not 3 point. Case had their Eagle hitch, somewhat similar to fast hitch, I imagine they would have converted to fast hitch, also.
