English: A magazine article showing and describing Harry Ferguson's tractor hitch development status as of 1922. It is a fully mechanical version with a depth wheel (small wheel that sets the plow depth) and is truly a three-point hitch, although it is not of the hydraulic type. The hydraulic type would be patented in 1926. The hitch is shown mounted on a Fordson tractor. In 1938, Ferguson would finally strike an agreement with Henry Ford to put Ferguson hitches on Ford tractors at the factory—something he had first attempted in 1920 and 1921 at Cork and Dearborn.
