I think the answer to this will depend on what you consider a 3 point hitch. Many companies had their own thing, as Ford/Ferguson had the patent on the 3 point for some time. IH had their fast hitch, Case the Eagle, AC the snap coupler, etc.
My bible on this stuff- Lester Larsen's The Farm Tractor 1950-1975 is buried in a pile of my wife's stuff in our "office."
Deere's first model matching your description would have been the 20 series introduced in fall of 56. Did Oliver's Super series have a true 3 point? Or did that come along with the 770, etc? I think IH was still only offering the fast hitch on the 350-450... or did it have a 3 point option? Did Ford's 801 etc have power steering or live PTO? We've debated over who had what first, but not who had the complete package.
I would add a few features to your list though, added since 1960- differential lock, MFWD, hydraulics that could sustain an orbit motor continuously, to name a few. A decent cab didn't alter drawbar pull, but it sure made a difference in likabilty, too.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
