[Ford-ferguson] Fw: Category II three point hitch

[Richard D Lotze]

I DON'T THINK SO in 1953
John Deere came out with their own 800 hitch to get around the Ferguson
patent which was a 4 point.  When the patent ran out they used the Cat. I
on the smaller tractors and Cat II on the larger models which was around
1956 I don't Know if they developed it or not - but not in 1953

The first Ford with Cat II was the 6000 I think

We all know that Harry Ferguson coordinated the development of the
hydraulically
operated three point hitch. That became the Category I three point hitch
with a
related standard.

This mentions that the 1953 John Deere 50, 60, and 70 were the first US
tractors
to have Category II three point hitch. This was the basis for the
Category II
ASAE-SAE standard.

What was the first Ford model with Category II three point hitch?
