Aug 2, 2023 · The design of each category is the same, but the hitch pin sizes and lower hitch spacing vary by category. Category zero 3-point hitches are almost exclusively found on garden tractors and lawn tractors and are considered light-duty. Category three 3-point hitches are designed for tractors with 80 to 225 drawbar horsepower.
The three-point hitch is a standardized method of attaching implements (equipment) to tractors, first developed by Harry Ferguson in the 1920s. The three-point hitch uses two lower connection points and one upper point which provides a rigid connection. Hydraulic cylinders operate on the lower arms to raise and lower the implement.

When installed on tractors offering between 180 and 400 horsepower, it’s hard to conceive of a task that a Category 4 hitch can’t handle.
