3-Point Hitch Category of my three point hitch

[Errol]

Can anybody shed some light on how to tell the category of my three point hitch as i am in the market for a quick hitch and they specify cat0, cat1 or cat2.
I have a 254 foton thanks

Measure the hole in the 3 point hitch ... cat 1 is 7/8"

 

[blueriver]

oops ... forgot cat 0 is 5/8" and cat 2 is 1 and 1/8"

Thanks it's funny that when you buy their tractor they don't tell you

Most tractors in this class are Cat 1. Your 254 should be Cat 1 also.

There's more to it than just pin size.
The category 1 quick hitch will be 27-1/2" between lift arms which is the ASAE standard.

category 1. Online specs as well as manual specifies this. I got a 254 as well.
