>just what is it for? It changes the angle of attack of a fast-hitch mounted plow. It will probably do the same for a sickle bar mower. It raises and lowers the front of the hitch. The vertical cylinder at rear of tractor raises and lowers the back of the hitch. Non-fast-hitch Cubs have a similar set up but it is armstrong style. >What all do you use it for?
I use it on a 3 bottom and 4 bottom fast hitch plow. It levels the plow fore and aft. It will adjust depth of furrow. >Is it for just certain implements, or jobs?
It may be helpful for mounted disc harrows and back blades. Don't know. I believe primary function is for use with land plows. >Does a 400 operator manual talk about it?
Don't have a F400 operator's manual. >Do 450's have them too?
No. Different hitch. It is called a "Traction control" hitch. That hitch can be retrofitted to SMTA and F400. The TC hitch is also used with F460 and F560 >I have 2 350 Farmalls, and they are just regular row crop tractors.
F300 and F400 hitches are similar and share most parts. F350 and F450 are similar and share most parts. >I am curious ...... is this just a few years of it being made, and what did IH do to replace, or update it?
Made in '55 and '56. The "traction control" hitch replaced it.
