Dad had a 450 Farmall with Fast Hitch from spring 1965 to fall 1968. Seems like it was around longer than that! One winter we had a light snow, 3-4 inches, not enough to use the 80 inch wide snow bucket on the Loader tractor to clean up, so we started the 450, hooked up to the 6 ft Service brand blade to clean up the snow. For whatever reason we didn't pull the pin on the Fast Hitch that let it float. I had to be REAL careful or the Hitch would lower a tiny bit too much and I'd spin out, had to constantly mess with the hyd valve for the hitch. There was a small slope in the barnyard that was enough to spin out on driving up or down the slope. The FH was great to adjust rear wheel tread on the 450, we had a heavy wood block of a 8 by 8 about 2 ft long, set it on end and lower the FH and one or both rear wheels came off the ground. We had an IH 4F-43 4-14 fully mounted plow but switched to a Case trailing 4-14 plow so we could use a Midwest plow harrow, also had an IH #25 rotary FH chopper or bush-hog, chopped a lot of corn stalks with it, 4th gear, 6-1/2 mph. I think the Fast Hitch beats the 3-point by a huge margin. Once 1 & 2 bottom equipment became too small the new larger implements were too large to muscle into position to mount. We went back to all trailing implements with the 4010 we had after the 450.
