[AT] IH Fast Hitch

[James Peck]

Did Deere ask to buy Fast Hitch rights after they already had three point hitch developed in 1953  on the JD 40. Draft and position control.  

Maybe it was a backup strategy.

[Al Jones] Of course the funny part is if IH hadn't been so stubborn, and licensed the Fast Hitch to Deere when they asked for it, the three point hitch might just be a footnote in tractor history......
