Cat II implements will be found on about 55 to 60 horsepower tractors and above, more or less. A compact tractor will probably have CAT I 3-point. These implements are the size this tractor is designed to use. Whatever size the tractor comes with is what it is designed to have, if that makes since. Same with Cat II tractors and implements. There are shims/inserts available to use CatI implements with Cat II tractors.Post-hole diggers are the ones most people use the shims for. Cat I implements have a toplink pin size of 3/4 inch and bottom pins are 7/8 inch. CatII implements have a toplink pin size of 1 inch and bottom pins are 1-1/8 inch. I hope this helps, Donald M.Cosper www.CosperTractor.com Follow Ups: Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Category 1 vs. Category 2 3-pt hitches Comments: Optional Link URL: Link Title: Optional Image URL: Email Notification: If you check this box, email will be sent to you whenever someone replies to this message.
