Dean did a good job. To exand a bit on the 3-point, there are many different catogories, well about 4 but 2 of those have different sizes. Cat zero is garden tractors, and often are not at all compatable with other cat zero stuff.

Cat 1 is common for 20 to 60 hp tractors, cat 2 & 3 are on larger tractors, and I believe there might be a cat 4 on the huge tractors. Each is bigger & beefier to handle more hp & bigger lifting loads.

What really messes us up is that some cat 2 equipment has a cat 3 width, and some cat 3 equipment has a cat 2 width. This makes it hard to use quick hitches.

Your tractor is probably cat 1.

Another way of looking at live pto & live hydraulics is that these options are always available to you, no matter what gear you are in, whether you have the clutch pushed in or not. I have a loader on my H tractor without live hydraulics. Every time I push in the clutch, the hydraulics stop working so the loader doesn't lift. Think about that - drive into a bucketful of dirt or manure, push in the clutch, and nothing. Shift to nuetral, raise the load, shift again, get to where you want to dump, if you need to raise the bucket a bit, ned to shift to nuetral... Etc.

The wear adds up on your knees, and jobs like baling or snowblowing where you need to stop moving forward but need to keep the machine spinning behind you to clear out overloads becomes very tiring.
