[QUOTE="76masseyman, post: 7403835, member: 6134"] The 3 point hitch as we know it ( Ferguson ) was ok in its day, to enable light tractors to transfer the weight of the implement to the drive wheels of the tractor. Not so much later on as implements that got wider and wider, instead of the smaller ones straight behind the tractor, that needed wheels for depth control. John Deere has the idea of implement lift and depth control being controlled by a single ram from the tractor scv’s. Why have a fairly expensive hydraulic lift on the tractor when it could control a ram on the implement, and that ram could be moved to any machine required. One hydraulic cylinder on one tractor, but it would lift the plough out of work, the cultivator, grain drill etc. It didn’t help that, before standardisation, that some manufacturers chose their own styles of implement attachment, but they all had the same principle for attaching trailed machines.
