Tractor 3-Point Hitch
Figure 1-4
Refer to Figure 1-4:
For proper hitch configuration determine the hitch
category for the tractor being used.
1. Category 0 tractors have 5/8” diameter hitch link
holes in the center and lower hitch arms.
2. Category I-Limited tractors have a 7/8” diameter
lower hitch link holes and either 5/8” or 3/4” diameter
top center link hole. The lower arms are spaced
closer together than a Category I hitch.
3. Category I tractors have a 7/8” diameter lower hitch
link holes and 3/4” diameter top center link hole.
The lower 3-point arms must be stabilized to prevent
side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks
or adjustable chains for this purpose.

2. Slowly back the tractor up to tiller until the lower
3-point arms are aligned with the inside hitch
clevises on the tiller as shown.
3. Replace the lower hitch pins and replace the two 1/4”
