Fast Hitch never really worked as intended. You're supposed to be able to back in and drive away with the implement without even getting off the tractor. Unless conditions are perfect, that doesn't happen. Usually you end up pushing the implement around the yard until you get off and man-handle the implement in place.
It was easy on the SC or 200 with the tilt side to side and front to back tied to the touch control. I don't know that any others were that easy.
Back in the early '60s, Cessna developed, along with IH, the one of the best draft control 3 point systems I have ever seen or operated. This would have been for the follow-on the the 460/560 series tractors, but in the end, IH decided to not use it in that series and "ripped off" some of the featues for a later series. I had the opportunity to field test that system in 1965/6 when Oliver was interested and Cessna gave them permission to use whatever they wanted of the design, because Cessna was no longer interested in building it. Until the electronic controlled systems became available, it couldn't be beat. We were able to pull a 4x16" plow with the 460 test bed tractor and minimal added weight. It would keep up with an Oliver 1650 with the same plow. I wish I knew where that tractor is now, probably in a junk yard with no parts to repair it.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
