I have that on My 400 too and found that it is one of the handiest things on the tractor. It lets you change the line of draft to the tractor (Which will change your traction and depth) when plowing with a semi-mounted plow like the 412 fast hitch plow that I have. You can raise or lower the line of draft by raising or lowing the front of the hitch. I also find it very handy for hooking up to two-point equipment and tilting equipment when I using them. I have a two-point mower, blade, 4-wheel rake and a 7-foot snow blower. The newer hitch that they put on the 450 and 560 had a cam in the hitch that would raise the back of the hitch whenever the pull was more that the weight of the hitch. Sort of a mechanical draft control. You could change the ratio by a lever on the right side of the tractor.
