I know many on here are MUCH more experienced than me, but in short; there are 4 variants of the 3 point hitch. They are all basically the same (two movable lower arms at some length and spacing, a single upper link with an adjustable length). The size of the holes and locations of the 3-points changes with the power of the tractor. The most common size is cat 1; and with adapter bushings most cat 2-3 tractors can accept cat 1 attachments. cat 0 is for lawn tractor size tractors.
IMO, I would buy an "inexpensive" modern cat 1 3-point hitch (Ford 600/800, and equivalent); use it and learn what works, what you like, and what could be improved - than look into the market and see what improvements have already been done and see if you have anything that is better than what is out there.
Also IMO, it is clear that all of this is new to you and; I would suggest having some experience with using with what you are trying to design if you are going to make a viable product.
