What is the difference between category 1 and 2 hitch

There are several things to consider when buying a tractor. Size, condition, and price are important, but you also need to know what jobs you expect it to handle. For most jobs, you'll need a loader or a 3-point hitch and some implements. To use those implements, you'll need to know the difference between the 3-point hitch categories.

The cat 1 hitch is used on tractors from hp. A cat 2 hitch is 32" wide. The top link is located 24" above the center line between the two lower lift pins. The top link pin is 1" in diameter. The larger Cat 2 hitch is designed for use with tractors ranging from hp. Aug 10, 3. Gale Hawkins Super Member. Three-point hitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Aug 10, 4. So if you're looking at a specific tractor, you might need to check the specs to see what category the 3P is.

I'm limited to the smaller Cat 1 implements, but can run those just fine, and I think there's a bigger selection of Cat 1 vs Cat 0. Three-point hitches are the mechanism used to mount implements to farm tractors. There are four categories: 0, 1, 2 and 3. The configuration of the three-point hitch includes a single centre-mounted attachment point at the top of the assembly and two mounting points mounted at a lower level. This makes sense as attachments like backhoe or even rotavator are not simple pull along, but need power and controls.

On the minitractor at the exhibition, I saw 4 or 5 levers for hydraulic control. Has Category 1 been hitch-hiked to handle power shaft specs between the tractor and the attachment? The triangle hitch points are at the ends of the two black connectors at the bottom and the white hydraulic piston at the top.

The lower two black linkages have hydraulic pistons, two each. The yellow power shaft, between the two black linkages, is the subject of my question. Is this a part of the Category 1N specifications? If yes what exactly does it specify for the power shaft other than the position? Will Cat 1N specify the rpm, torque and power of the shaft please?
