In some parts of the country, 3 point hitches weren't used much until just recently. Our biggest tractors back then, bought new, were a 656 in around '71, and an 886 around '79 or '80. Neither had a 3 point hitch. In our country, "big" tractors like that's main purpose was and is to feed hay, and they pulled either a haysled or later a chain-type stackmover, both of which hooked onto a regular drawbar. Back when we fed with the haysled(up to about '78 or so), our tractors, and most everyone in the area's feeding tractors, had a custom built pto-driven winch on them used to winch haystacks onto the haysled. A 3 point hitch would have to have been removed to mount the winch, so most people around here ordered tractors without 'em.
