Bill: No question, fast hitch was the cats meow for the small tractors Cub, 100 series and even the SC, 200 and 230. I believe that one point set up on 100, 130 and 140 can not be matched even in 2004 for tillage tools like plow, disk and cultivator equipment on a small tractor. Superb dept control on a plow and you can hydraulically change that depth to precise settings on the go.

Where the problem came was big tractors pulling heavy pull type equipment. I had a 560D, and pulled items like 4 bottom trailer plow, 10 ft disk, 13 foot vibra shank cultivator and forage harvester or baler with wagon. In about three years that hitch was almost like pulling those implements with a 4 foot chain. Not really the ideal situation with pto equipment. Interesting part is once the hitch was rebuilt, it only seemed to last about 1 year and would need rebuilding again.
