Can you describe what a "tow drop hook" is?

Buy a manual for it, it will show you every thing you need to know.

I'm guessing its a European style implement hitch, their not used in North America so most of us won't be much help.

But I don't know anything about the hitch, other than it is independent of the 3 point.

I looked at a JD years ago when they were flooding the market with used European tractors. It had a mechanical tow hook that blocked the PTO when 'UP'. Didn't buy because of available parts, think that was why it was for sell. They seemed anxious to negotiate on it.

well... if it is a hyd lift hook.. then it has a hyd cyl on it. if it has a cyl on it. follow the hose! The Hose HAS to go to a control valve SOMEWHERE!
