From what little I've gathered, it seems like some garden tractors have cat. 0 3pt hitches, and CUTs have category 1 hitches.

However, I know my Yanmar YM1401D is a very small tractor. I am considering purchasing a box blade for it, I think I would get a lot of use out of that.

Both box blades are the same size, 48". However, the one with the category 1 is almost $200 more. I don't really feel like spending that much.

Can someone let me know which size hitch my tractor has? Are they "backwards compatible"?

Thanks!

Dennis
