Steaming pile of poo compared to International's 2-point fast hitch. You could hook up to implements without ever leaving the seat. And, it offered power roll and azimuth adjustments, as well as lift and pushdown. (Lift only, if you pulled the appropriate pin.) Three hydraulic levers, to the Ford system's one.

And, it won in the end. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
