I don't really see any weight transfer hitches in use. They seem to be a good concept. The type of 3 point attachment that will tow your drawbar implement and through a geometric mechanical connection will attempt to lift it ever so slightly to put the weight on the tractor wheels. There are almost 2 pages (double column no less) devoted to one in my 656 Farmall operator's manual, but some of our other tractors' manuals don't even mention such an option. Thus far the only other place I've seen one was in an Allis Chalmers coffee-table book where it's pictured on the back of a 190.
Who offered the best design or most universal design?
Why aren't they popular?
Do they actually work? Do any work with toplink sensing?
I could see some potential damage or safety issues if you would pull the wrong draft control lever or have the wrong lever settings with the transfer hitch attached: i.e. lifting your implement tongue 30 inches in the air with one design or bending your regular drawbar with another.
thanks for input
