somebody on my tractor talk post called it a "widow maker." I can see that reputation being earned in transport, panic, fatigue or in the hands of an inexperienced/unadaptable operator. Plus you can turn sharper and hook a tongue on a tire... On the USA farmalls with 2 identical levers doing 3 things (postion, draft, plus flow control (action control zone)one could get mixed up easily. Especially if you are accustomed to the plow and 90% of other implements using the position control lever for lifting at headlands. Throw in a little fatigue at tillage time and bad things will happen. stop screws might help limit your actions with the levers but anything can happen. Not attacking farmall's hitch design either as other designs and makes also are not exempt from design limitations, complications or operator error. I happen to like the farmall draft system controls.
This particular hitch design would especially be unstable in transport since the average 3 point hitch does not have down pressure and there is no vertical travel limiter in the design of the weight transfer attachment.
It's an interesting piece of engineering curiosity, but I guess I talked myself out of advocating its use ;)

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
