Talking to my father who grew up on a typical southern cotton farm and later worked 20 years for Harvester Company, he still shakes his head when talking about the fast hitch. Here in the delta IH had covered up this part of the country with tractors, when hitches came along the 3pt worked better and held up better. He and other dealers pleaded with IH to convert to a 3pt starting in the mid-50's. IH executives in Chicago would not listen.

Between the 2pt, and the 460, 560 disaster of the late 50's JD got market share and hasn't looked back.

The 2pt may have worked in other parts of the country, but not down here, the executives needed to be listen instead of being hard-headed.

And don't get him started on the "tele-depth" system, that was a joke.
