Lance: People like to blame fast hitch, but any of the row crop tractors JD, Oliver, Cockshutt, MH, etc. built before these companies changed the configuration to mounting and dismounting ahead of rear wheel, these tractors were no better. The real problem lies with operators platform being in the way. Any mounted implement I've seen moves foreward as it raises, doesn't matter whether it be fast hitch or 3 point hitch.

You've had a couple of good suggestions, turned up adapters from FH to 3PH. Shortening your lift links. Those 16.9 tires your going to install will help very much, rear of tractor is going to sit about 3" higher.

This is one of the items I mentioned last evening on the advantage of tractors like 656, 666, 706, etc., the platform was moved ahead out of way, thus allowing good hitch function. My 656 would carry most implements 2' off the ground. Plow was the one I used most, 5x16 semi mount. Great to have that clearence.
