I remember Deere had some kind of weight transfer hitch that worked in a similar fashion. Never saw one, but I remember seeing them in brochures. I have no idea how well they worked.

Maybe it had something to do with almost 3 years of wage and price controls. Talk to some people who were in manufacturing then, and I think you'll find that it was a total nightmare. http://www.econreview.com/events/wageprice1971b.htm We were going toe to toe with the Russians, claiming the moral high ground, while we embraced their "business" philosophy.

I remember that ad. Dad hadn't bought the 7 yet, but I was gettin' pretty anxious to run one of those big red tractors. That white-cabbed 7 in the picture would be pretty darn rare, I'd think.
