Hillside hitch was an adjustment to move the drawbar off center on the go. 
It is used to help offset the implement's tendancy to drift downhill when 
working along a side hill.  Probably most important for plowing.  There were 
lever operated and hydraulic versions.  Seems like they were more prevalent 
on H and M Farmalls as they had a wide swinging drawbar.  The JD 60 that was 
on our farm had only had +/- 6" of swing and unless it was a completely 
different hitch setup, might not be all that effective compensating except 
for minor slopes.
