CAT 1 implements to CAT II 3pt hitch

sagittarius · Mar 24, 2004

Is there some type of sleave set available to adapt a CAT 1 implement up to a CAT II 3 pt hitch tractor?

Yes, you can get the parts from Tractor supply or Agri Supply or your local tractor dealer.
My brother uses several Cat 1 implements on his Cat 2 tractor.

all of my toys came with cat1 pins,my tractor has cat2 tph,i installed the pats quick change system,the first time using my cutter, the adapter on one side was lost.so i decided to eliminate that problem by installing cat2 pins on everything i use,i also went one step further by welding large homemade washers on the end of the pins this made hooking up easier.the replacement pins came with the same size mounting stud so you don't have to drill out the holes and i paid about $5.50 per pin but it was well worth the cost...

I use several Cat I implements on a Cat II NH TN. The New Holland comes with 2 different ball ends for each arm so you can change it semi permanently if you want. My TN also came with a collection of Cat I to II sleeves. I think they are less than $2.00 at a NH dealer. Just remember that many Cat I implements must be used gently on a Cat II tractor.

Words of wisdom. I just bend the h&*( out of my roller. It was an old one made from 2 55 gal drums filled with concrete and a tow bar designed for a small tractor.
Working it the other day and I looked back and the frame is very badly bent up. The tractor nor I never even noticed it bending.

Helps if you keep it out of 4wd for ground engaging implements. Hopefully you will loose traction before you break something.
