Some articiles about the Farmall two point hitch says the FAST HITCH and others refers to it as the QUICK HITCH. Is one a Small Point and the other a Large Point? Or is it a slang term used for either one?

Being from the age of these model tractors when hitches became standard equipment, the term fast hitch was only applied by IH to their 2 point hitch, nothing quick about hooking up a 3 point hitch, I used to set up new tractors and equipment, wasnt really impressed with 3 point in 706/966 as far as quickly being able to hook up a plow or large rear cultivator by yourself.

hopefully I can explain with getting us both confused. Two sizes of fast hitches, small two point the size of the points) used on Super C, 200, 300, etc. Large two point used on 400, 450, etc. Single point fast hitch used on cub, maybe others, I am not sure.

The terms fast hitch and quick hitch have been used synomously but to me they mean different things. Fast hitch is one-or two point farmall specific. Quick hitch is a generic term to apply to any device to make connection to 3pt equipment easier.

hope this helps

The 300 and up had large points.

Fast hitch is a complete two-prong hitch system (back up, lift and go) first used on the Super C in 1953, then on the hundred series and later models, until IH finally gave up and converted everything to 3-point. The Cub and 100 had a one-prong system. Fast hitch was a very good system, but required the use of IH only implements, or a 3-point adapter so you could use other implements. Quick hitch is a generic term for a carrier that attaches to a 3-point and allows you to attach and lift an implement without leaving the tractor seat--some of the time. The two lower links lock onto the the lower pins on the implement and the top link rides under the top pin on the implement. Made for all categories of 3 points, I, II, III, IV, etc. Really a poor substitude for Fast Hitch, however IH refused to license Fast Hitch to Deere, thus everything now has 3 point.
