OK I will. Fast hitch implements swing through an ever changing arc as they're raised or lowered. Implements would only be level at ONE given point. Any in field adjustment up or down requires operator to get off the tractor and make adjustments to the implement to keep it level as operating depth/height is changed.
3-point hitch with TWO pivot points keeps implement at a fairly level plane throughout the travel, eliminating the need to be off and on the tractor.
3-point geometry directs more down force to the front end of the tractor (with top link being attached to the tractor at a much higher point.) Results in a less ballast needed on front end to operate essentially the same implement.
3-point supports weight of implement much better (less strain on implement and tractor hitch point) due to 3rd mounting point.
The list goes on and on. You're entitled to your opinion, even if it is ridiculous. If the fast hitch was so fabulous, why did IH bail on it? Oh yeah....it was second fiddle in a one man band.
