The 3-point hitch, a system for attaching implements to tractors, was invented by Harry Ferguson and patented in 1926. Ferguson's invention revolutionized agriculture by enabling tractors to efficiently handle a wider variety of implements, ultimately replacing horses in many farming tasks. The system's widespread adoption began with the Ford-Ferguson 9N tractor in 1939 and became the industry standard as patents expired in the 1960s.
