Pertaining to Fast Hitch draft control, here it is straight from the 460 / 560 Fast Hitch Operator's Manual.
Now my ground at my place is nice black loose dirt with quite a few rock. My M put out 56 HP on the PTO dyno and I can stop it dead with my #70 3-16 if the stop on the cylinder slips and sinks it to the drawbar and over the centerline of the M&W fixed coulters. I have it weighted to 7400# and new 15.5 - 38 Firestones....
Have a 412 4-16 semi-mount bought brand new with my 560 in '63. The ground at my parents is non draining heavy with a lot of clay and extensively tiled for drainage. In years past, especially sugar beet growing years the 560 was weighted in excess of 10000# and sometimes would need the M chained to the front to get it through the soil. If it is any testament to how hard it is, the traction control lever and linkage are off of it because the FH has been broken multiple times where it bolts to the rearend casting and has been patched and welded.
I'll take my 412 on the FH any day over my #70 on the drawbar.
