Jared: It really isn't a question of which hitch is better. IH was odd man in the issuse and farmers were deciding to go with the standard. Farmer were not going to find themselves forced into a situation whereby they couldn't shop around for a tractor without trading all the implements. Maybe they should have accepted the deal with Deere. In my opinion the modern day 3 point hitch on large tractors incorperates as much of IH's fast hitch principles as it does Ferguson's 3 point. Lower link sencing evolved from fast hitch. That one was clearly IH's baby. The telescoping lower link which is a great assist in hitching clearly comes from fast hitch. Many of the larger implements have become semi-mounted so lower links are all that matters anyhow. In essence most tractors over 60 hp today are using what is actually a lot closer relative of fast hitch that it is 3 point. Had Deere and IH gotten together on that one, yes they would have had quite an impact. Lets face it in 1955 across North America, Deere and IH probably shared 80% of the ag market and quite equally I might add. That old saying," No man can be an island onto himself," was never more true.
