At 2,500 pounds (1.1 t), the 9N could plow more than 12 acres (4.9 hectares) in a normal day pulling two 14-inch (360 mm) plows, [3] outperforming the tractive performance of the heavier and more expensive Farmall F-30 model. [3] The hitch's utility and simplicity have since made it an industry standard.
Row crop cultivators are usually raised and lowered by a three-point hitch and the depth is controlled by gauge wheels. Sometimes referred to as sweep cultivators , these commonly have two center blades that cut weeds from the roots near the base of the crop and turn over soil, while two rear sweeps further outward than the center blades deal ...
The Ford N-series tractor helped revolutionize modern mechanized agriculture with its Ferguson three point hitch. A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery such as that used in agriculture, mining or construction.
The Ferguson photo is really a bad picture to illustrate a three point hitch. First of all, the top link of the hitch is missing. Secondly the bottom links are holding a 'drawbar', and by its different color, it's the drawbar that's emphasized, not the three point hitch. I've swapped photo positions because the Ferguson photo is so bad.

However being 2:1 or 3:1, depending on the oriantation, is quite what we are talking about. Buck Tilton wrote: "The trucker’s hitch (sometimes known as the cinch knot or power cinch) is more accurately described as a system of knots giving a three-to-one mechanical advantage that allows tension to be created in a rope or cord."

The timber hitch is a knot used to attach a single length of rope to a cylindrical object. Secure while tension is maintained, it is easily untied even after heavy loading. [1] [2] [3] The timber hitch is a very old knot. It is first known to have been mentioned in a nautical source c. 1625 [4] and illustrated in 1762. [1]
