Cat 1 hitch - cat 2 attachment

[khandyside]

i have a JD110 tractor/loader and just bought a used MF345 plow. Come to find out that the plow looks like a cat2 and my tractor is cat1. What are my options, if any? the pins on the plow are fixed so they can not be downsized. can you buy cat 1 to cat 2 lift arms? new to all of these attachments so sorry for the basic questions / thanks / keith

Not sure what you mean by fixed. They don't bolt on?

no on the 345 the pins are part of the plow assembly - like the shaft was just tooled down to the pins - definitely not removable

Got it. Never seen that.

i'm researching getting cat 2 lift arms and using a reducer on the tractor end...or seeing if there is an adaptor or an easy way to convert my implement end to cat 2

Got any pictures of the plow and the mounts for it? I have some ideas, but would need to see the front of the plow.

I'll try to remember to take some pix of what I'm thinking about when I go to the farm to feed cows in the morning.

After you change it are you sure it's not to big for your tractor. Cat 2 are 50+HP, so check that before you spend a lot of money.
