KIP: Whether it's fast hitch or 3 point hitch, these had two things in common, convenience of moving equipment from one field to another and transfering implement weight to the tractor. Ferguson may have been first but his system was not perfect.

I always have maintained fast hitch did one thing, that was the evolution of lower link sencing. All companies in the 1950s were struggling to come up with the perfect system. IH finally did it and they did it using their lower link sencing technology and applying it to Ferguson's 3 point hitch. Indeed it came with 04-06 tractors in 1963. At that point IH were light years ahead of the competition on hydraulic systems. They also had perfected IPTO and much improved TA by getting rid of free wheeling on low side. I farmed with two of these tractors namely the 656 and 1066. I've operated many other tractors since up to and including 2006 models. In my opinion, no company has surpassed IH on that 3 point or fast hitch, used on 06, 26, 56, 66 or 86 series tractors.
