Matt, My only present experience with the IHC fast hitch tractors is a 1953 Super C. I truly love the tractor and the hitch capability. I'm in my late 60's now and just dread having to hook up most 3 point implements as they always have to be jocked around in some manner to get attached to the tractor. I am presently looking for a larger fast hitch tractor like a 560, 706, etc. and will only consider one with a fast hitch. I have no experience on the position control feature of the fast hitch on those tractors so I can't comment on that. I have a couple of equipment trailers I keep stored in the barn with 2 5/16 ball hitches and with a ball mounted on my Super C drawbar I can move them around without getting off the tractor. And with the down pressure control on the SC I can use my 2 point post hole auger and have control on it going down. I have never had a problem with it augering into the ground past a root, rock, etc. and having to hand crank it up out of the ground with a pipe wrench unlike what is possible with the 3 points with no down control. I can feed it down at only a couple of inches at a time with the down pressure control. Don't know if any of this is of value in your decision but I certainly wish all my tractors had fast hitches and I didn't have to lug those heavy 3 point tillage implements around to attach to the tractor, Hal.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
