There are several reason the Fast Hitch died. One is that it's not capable of heavy implements used on bigger tractors. Once the 100 HP tractor was introduced the Fast Hitch would have had to have been larger, to the point of not being feasible. So at that point it was doomed. But other factors contributed too. Other than hooking up an implement a 3 point system out performed it. Also any hitch that had only one source for implements was going to be short lived too as IH, AC and others found out. A lot of farmers had implements and were just getting a new tractor, not going to a larger tractor. Back in that day there wasn't much land available so farms didn't get much bigger. They didn't need a larger tractor and a bigger plow. They just needed or wanted a new tractor. Plus add in that almost all the farmers in the mid 50's could remember the depression. That meant that they were not going to buy a new tractor and all new implements. Basically one brand only hitch systems were a poor idea no matter how easy they were to hook up to. By 1956 JD had the 3 point. So a guy with a new JD could opt for JD implements, MF and Ford too. In 56 a guy with a new IH/Farmall could opt for IH. Guy with a new AC with the Snap Coupler could opt for AC. So IH and AC both lost implement sales to guys with other brands. Real bad idea!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
