'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.
