Pete: And John Deere probably bless that day at every shareholder meeting. World wide, Ferguson had won the hitch war before IH sold it's first fast hitch in 1953. Even back then, both IH and Deere were equiping tractors built for the European market with factory 3 point hitches.
The thing that killed fast hitch was not having an independadnt drawbar like 656 or 706 and tractor design. You can not get mounted implement lift clearence with operator sitting directly above the drawbar, doesn't matter whether it's fast hitch or 3 point hitch.
