2012 New Holland Boomer 30
Good morning friends. I need a light duty middle buster to put down a few rows for my new hobby, potatoes. Thinking a combo middle buster and subsoiler would be quite handy, I ordered an inexpensive model from TSC to be delivered to store. Now that I review my order, I realize that I was wrong about the implement's category. The implement is Cat 0 while I'm quite sure my NH Boomer 30 is Cat 1. Can this be fixed by a simple pin sleeve? I'm wondering if I should cancel the order and go with the Cat 1 middlebuster which doesn't feature the added subsoiler. It would be nice to have both, but not if I'm running into issues with sizing that can't be fixed easily and cheaply. It will be only implement I've bought since the original box-blade, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of sizing. Thanks for advice!

I have a broadcast spreader that is cat 0, and yes, adding sleeves makes it useable on a cat 1 hitch.
A ground engaging cat 0 implement is going to be less stout than a cat 1 implement, so damage is a possibility.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered another and canceled the first order. It's 30lbs heavier, Cat 1, and I figure the weight difference has to count for something. Cheers!

I would have done the same thing for the very reason that Rj stated about ground engaging implements. ;)
