I have a 3-point quick hitch adapter that I use on my 25 HP tractor with a class I hitch, can I use that same adapter on a 50 HP class II tractor?

Yes, you can buy some bushings that allow a Cat II hitch use a Cat I implement. You just slide the bushings over the implements lift pins and then put it on your tractor. My deere 4010 uses several bushings for smaller implements that my 30hp uses.

Class refers to the hitch on your car or truck, class 1 is the flat bar hitch on your car, class 2 is the 1 1/4" reciever hitch on your car, class 3 is the 2" reciever hitch on your truck with class 4 being the same hitch only being used with load leveler bars. Never with tractors.
With tractors it is all catagorie 0, 1, 2, 3.

You will find some info on the left of this page under research and info. The section 3-point specs wil give you some general dimensions on three point hitches. You can buy shims,adapters bushings or whatever you want to call them to fit on the pin of a class one that will let it fit a class two tractor. And I have seen this done quit often. I suggest you keep in mind if you use a category 1 implement on a category 2 tractor you are using more HP than the implement was designed for. So think twice about goin full throttle depending on what implement your are using. Also note that in the section I refered you to that the term "category is used, I have heard the term "category used more often the class when refering to three point hitch sizes. I guess it depends on where you live as to what is used most often.

'Class' is kind of an arbitrary term some of the manufaturers use to decsribe the chassy size of their compact tractors. I see this 'class' discussion on some compact tractor boards, but actually it has little meaning to the rest of the tractor world.

You will confuse people, thinking you are talking catagory 1 3pt vs catagory 2 3pt.

If both tractors have catagory 1 3pt hitch dimentions, the hitch should work on both.

I am making some assumptions here, but typically a 50 hp tractor should still have a cat 1 3pt hitch. :)

Should I be the one confused, and the new tractor has a cat 2 hitch, it might be possible to fit the cat 1 quick hitch, but the tractor would be stronger than the hitch; and not everything will fit up quite right - and it would only work with cat 1 sized implements of course, while a tractor with cat 2 hitch works better with cat 2 implements. Could it work sometimes - yes. Will it fit your needs - that is difficult to say.

But likely both machines have cat 1 hitches, and it will work fine.
