After two weeks of discussion the answer is so simple. When I posted the orginal post on Nov. 23 I gave two examples, I did not say they were exclusively the very best.

There was no use trying to put 3 point hitch on that row crop either with the operator sitting directly over the drawbar. IH tried to flog Fast Hitch for 10 years. Harry had won the war before IH sold the first Fast Hitch. Try and convince anyone that ever worked six cylinder tractors that John Deere didnt stay with the 2 bangers too long. The list of mistakes is long, but as my late father used to say, "The man who made no mistakes didn't do much".
