Tele-depth is one of many stupid ideas IH had, some people may swear by it but my father just shakes his head when you mention it.

Moving the hitch to position is the "Hydro-Touch" system. The "Tele-Depth" or "Traction Control" portion of the system automatically controls the operating depth of implements such as a plow.
For example if you were plowing and hit a tough spot, the rear wheels would begin to dig in and the plow go in deeper as a result. The deeper the plow the more the tractor digs the deeper the plow. The Tele-Depth system senses the pull of the plow. As the plow pulls harder the Tele-Depth system will raise the plow. As the pull is reduced the system will lower the plow.

I believe Tel-a-Depth is the hydraulic system that controls the fast hitch on '60 series Farmall tractors (240, 340, 460, 560), and maybe even the 3 point and fast hithes on later series tractors as well.

Earlier fast hitch controls were just regular hydraulic valves that you moved back and forth to raise and lower the hitch. Pulling back raised the hitch, pushing forward lowered the hitch, and the when you let go, the lever automatically centered.

The Tel-a-depth control lever stays wherever you leave it, and indicates the position of the hitch. All the way forward is all the way down, and all the way back is all the way up.
