[AT] IH Fast Hitch was Of the 10 worst tractors

[Al Jones]

I knew a former IH salesman who worked for the local dealer from '49
through the early 70s. He didn't care for the two point on the larger
tractors.  He said it wasn't built heavy enough and no hydraulic draft
control.  It does seem like on the large frame IH tractors below 120 or so
HP that their hitch components were built awfully light.
