CAT2/3 Quick Hitch

- Adapt Your Category 2, 3 Point to a 3 Point Quick Hitch - Built with 4" x 4" tubular steel - Reinforced with 9-Gauge Steel gusset plates - Lightweight design saving on your 3 Point’s lifting capacity - Spring loaded levers to lock lower lift pins into place - No welding or modifications needed. Attaching is simple and quick. - Lower Lift Pins Included. Top Link Pin Sold Separately.

With the Category 2 3-point quick hitch, you can easily switch the implements connected to the tractor 3-point hitch. The quick hitching device is made of 4 "x 4" structural steel pipe, reinforced with 9 # steel gusset plate, and has a rated lifting capacity of 4000 pounds. Connect the 3-point quick hitch to the 3-point lift arm and easily connect or remove the implement in a few minutes. After connecting to the tractor, use the top link hook to connect to the 3-point attachment, and use the locking lever to fix the lifting pin of the attachment. Note: This device is designed to receive Class 2 implements, and will use conversion bushings on the lower lift pin and the top link pin to receive Class 1 implements.

Detail Drawing Display

Using Quick Hitch to Connect Implements To connect an implement with a quick hitch, return it and align the middle hook on the hitch with the top pin on the implement. As long as the top hook is in a straight line, the bottom pin should fall in place. Lift the implement, slide the pin into the hook and lock it in place using the locking lever on the top of the hitch. When you are ready to remove the implement from the quick hitch, unlock the lever on the top of the hitch and lower the lift arm until the implement pin slides out of the hook.

How to Choose The Quick Hitch Suitable for Your Tractor

To select the Quick Hitch model for your tractor, you need to consider the following factors:

• Tractor classification: Quick Hitch classifies tractors according to their size and capacity (in fact, it is based on the international classification of electronic manipulation physics), such as CAT 1 to CAT 4. It is very important to know the classification of your tractor, because different classifications correspond to different Quick Hitch models.
• Use of implementation: Different types of implementations, such as ploughs, shovels or lawn mowers, require different types of Quick Hitch models. It is very important to know which implementation you need to connect, because different implementations require different connection methods and models.
• Fast continuity: The speed of Quick Hitch is also an important factor to consider. Some Quick Hitches will allow you to connect and release faster and easier, which can save valuable time and energy for your farm operation.|In short, to select the Quick Hitch model that is suitable for your tractor, you need to understand the classification of your tractor and the realization of the required connection, as well as your budget and other requirements. Before purchasing, please read the product manual and trailer operation guide to ensure that the model you purchased meets your requirements and use specifications.

CAT 2 VS CAT 3 Quick Hitch

CAT (Category) 2 and CAT 3 Quick Hitches are both common types of hitch systems used to connect tractors and other farm implements. Here are some key differences between these two hitch categories:

1. Size: Cat 3 is larger than Cat 2. Cat 2 hitches typically measure about 32 mm in diameter while Cat 3 ones measure about 44 mm.
2. Weight capacity: Cat 3 hitches are stronger than Cat 2, and can handle heavier loads, often up to 10,000 lbs compared to 6,000 lbs for Cat 2.
3. Compatibility: Cat 2 and Cat 3 hitches are not interchangeable. Implements designed for Cat 2 hitches cannot fit on Cat 3, and vice versa.
4. Price: The differences in size and strength means that Cat 3 hitches are generally more expensive than Cat 2 hitches.

Overall, the choice between Cat 2 and Cat 3 quick hitches depends on the type of farm equipment being used and the size of the tractors in use. While Cat 3 hitches offer greater strength and capacity, they may not be necessary for all applications.
