Manufacturers and their inability to standardise on hitches

I'm in the process of trying to make implements and thought I would try to make brackets generic enough that could fit any tractor.

The Legends Vicon Spreader comes with an adapter plate that seems to be too wide for Schuco (and by the looks of it, anything else with the same style hitch).

This has now lead me to start measuring all the different hitches I have within reach to try and see if there is some common ground while keeping things sensible looking.

So far Schuco seems to be narrowest, and UH front links the widest. 6.8mm between the outside edges of those 2.

How are other members handling all the variations?

I don't think theres much that can be done Andy beyond customize an implement for a specific tractor or a specific model manufacturer. It is something that's halted me form trying to develop too many three point linkage mounted kits to be honest as you simply can't cater for everyone. Or more critically you can barely cater for anyone!
