The 3pt hitch is broken down into sizes, or
catagories. Tractors are not broken into such
classifications exactly.

Cat 0 is 'made up' and refers to lawn tractors,
not standardized at all.

Cat 1 is the standard for old & smaller
tractors.

Cat 2 is for bigger tractors, around 60 hp is
when things start to change - more or less.
Often there is enough slop or a built in
ajustment to use cat 1 implements on cat 2,
tho the fit isn't perfect.

Cat 3 is for bigger yet - over 120 hp or so - no
set rules.

There is a cat3N (N= narrow) which has the
pin sizes of a cat3, but the width & height of a
cat 2 hitch. This is very handy, see more
tractors set to cat3N than to cat 3.....

And cat 4 tends to be the hge 4wd tractors.
Also a cat4N of course.

But the reference is to the size & spacing of
the 3pt hitch.
