Harold: I wouldn't buy either a fast hitch or a 3 point. 560 draft control wasn't much good when they were new. They will be even less good 50 years later.
Find yourself a good No.60 trailer plow 4x16 with super chief trip bottoms. A properly ajusted 60 with good wear parts will roll furrows up a hill, at least as steep as you want to drive the tractor on. The reason I said 4 bottom, is you said rocks. 560 will pull a 4x16 in 3rd gear quite handily on level sandy loam. In the rocky situation you can gear down to 2nd, beams will trip half as ofter per foot of furrow, and it will be much easier on tractor and plow.
If I were to go to a mounted plow on anything IH and larger than a SC, 200, etc., then if would have to be factory 3 point hitch, or fast hitch after 1963. Remember IH had the poorest draft control on market up to end of 460-560 production, and the very best draft control since.
