Size Categories
There are five different hitch sizes, called categories. The higher category hitches have sturdier lift arms and larger connector pins. There is some flexibility in the tractor hp at which one category hitch ends and the next begins.
| Category | Tractor HP | Top Link Pin Diameter | Lift Arm Pin Diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Up to 20 | 5/8 in | 5/8 in |
| 1 | 20 to 45 | 3/4 in | 7/8 in |
| 2 | 40 to 100 | 1 in | 1⅛ in |
| 3 | 80 to 225 | 1¼ in | 1 7/16 in |
| 4 | 180 to 400 and up | 1 3/4 in | 2 in |

Famous quotes containing the words size and/or categories:
“It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.”
—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“Kitsch ... is one of the major categories of the modern object. Knick-knacks, rustic odds-and-ends, souvenirs, lampshades, and African masks: the kitsch-object is collectively this whole plethora of “trashy,” sham or faked objects, this whole museum of junk which proliferates everywhere.... Kitsch is the equivalent to the “cliché” in discourse.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
