Dad had a Ih 706 and grandpa Tom had a 3020. Neither tractor was prefect. The 3pt on the IH would not go low enough. If the implement sank in the ground. We had to jack the implement up or dig holes for the rear wheels on the 706 to lower the tractor to hook up.
The 3020 had the opposite problem.The 3pt would not raise high enough. Grandpa Tom had to cross a rail road to get to his south quarter. We had to be very careful with his 4 row lister.

Said you can't list or cultivate with a cab tractor.
The 706 would lift our 6 row planter a good ten inches off the ground.Never had a problem crossing R&R.

We also had a JD A and a farmall M. The Farmall was a better all around tractor than the A.
