The old drag plows didn't have automatic draft control either, to the best of my understanding. What you're basically missing without draft control is the tractor automatically controlling the depth of the plow as the soil conditions change. You can do this manually, but your plowing will look like $hit, and you'll be constantly running the hitch up and down. A depth wheel on the plow will help. The problem with the add-on 3pt hitches is that they place a whole lot of stress on parts of the tractor that weren't designed for it. On an H, the drawbar is pulling from a point on the bottom of the transmission case. These add-on 3pt hitches put all the force on the axle housings, with a huge leverage advantage (i.e. twisting due to the drop-down bars for the 3pt arms). Add-on 3pt hitches were meant for things like brush hogs, sprayers, log splitters, carrying platforms, even cultivators, not heavy tillage equipment.
