There are adapter arms for the fast hitch to make it fit 3 point implements. Ours for the 806 have an offset for them that allow them to be used on either cat I or II implements by switching the adapters between left and right arms, making it wide or narrow. The problems are that it still will not fit newer implements that are designed for "category I or II" because the distance between the pins is neither cat I or cat II, and is instead somewhere in the middle. It works fine on a 3 point, as the arms pivot inward and it will make up for the narrower mounts. However, a 2 pt is a fixed width setup, and it will not fit. Also, as mentioned before, the 2 pt with adapters will still not lift quite as high as a 3 pt.

The original fast hitch was a great idea, and was designed to allow the tractor to hook and unhook implements without having the operator leave the tractor seat. Every implement had a set of prongs sticking out parallel with the tractor instead of the 2 pegs sticking out perpendicular to the tractor for the three point. The tractor (without the drawbar inserted into the 2 pt.) would back up to the implements, the prongs would slide into the arms and the locks would drop when it was inserted all the way. Then the operator would pick it up and drive off. IH marketed it by having operators square dance with tractors and then switching implements when told to by the announcer.
