Harry Ferguson's three point hitch enabled that little tractor to pull as much as it did in the 3 point mode. There were attachments galore for it. But, it still would not pull two plows (3 point plow) through heavy alfalfa sod in red clay. We have plenty of both. Red clay thanks to Mr Glacier and alfalfa because of the holsteins.

For our needs, the Ford/Ferguson *(as it was called then) was amusing at best, deadly at worst.
