The Ferguson system was around in 33, yes, in Europe. But the Ferguson didn't hit the US market until either 39 or 40, in the midst of the largest depression the world had seen. Then WW2 got in the way of production. It wasn't until well after WW2 that the sales really took off. Until that period a Ferguson 3pt was a completely proprietary system as far as implements went.

The old papers and magazines of the day advertised just that. Some places even took horses in on trade, which of course went to the kill. What a system!
