3 Point Hitch

Harry Ferguson had the ingenuity and foresight to see the need for a 3 Point Hitch system that would work with the tractor to make farmers more productive and therefore more efficient.

With the ability to control the 3 Point Hitch with infinite accuracy and simple yet efficient Draft Control, farmers could achieve a new level of productivity.

Sixty years later, the Massey Ferguson 500 series tractors still use a very familiar 3 Point Hitch that has come to be known as the Ferguson System.
