So I have read John Deere wanted to be able to use fast hitch and IH refused, the rest is history. One fault of fast hitch is that is wears with age, bushings wear out, ends of shafts wear out, etc. A 3 point hitch is much simpler and shows less wear and costs less to fix. I had all the bushings replaced in my 460 fast hitch a few years back, cost $400+. If I had a choice I would probably prefer 3 point with the adapter that attaches to the two lower arms and the single top link (it has a name but I'm brain dead at the moment). Then all you do is back up to the implement and lift it. Much easier than getting off and attaching the arms. Also, some tractors such as my 460 do not have a built in drawbar meaning you have to use a fast hitch drawbar which places stress on the fast hitch causing probably more wear than the fast hitch implements do. That said, if I want to buy a tractor that fast hitch was available and it is missing, I don't buy the tractor. It is part of IH's history, so I'm really not complaining about it.
