Any
garden or compact tractor is more
valuable if a 3 point hitch can be installed on it or if it comes
with one installed. The first 3 point hitch made by John Deere for
their garden tractors was in 1968 to be used on the John Deere 140
garden tractor then followed by the John Deere 400 that came out in
1975. Category 0 (zero) was the size classification that came on the
garden tractor. The next size up for the compact utility tractors is
category 1 (one). Three point hitches have exceptional lifting
power.
Three point hitches are made to the same standard between the
different makes and models of tractors. If the 3 point hitch
equipment you buy is category 1 it will fit onto any make or model
of tractor that has a category 1 hitch. 3 point hitches can be used
for
attachments such as rear blades and
box blades that are very useful for moving dirt and gravel. A
moboard plow, sprayer, sickle mower, rough cut mower, finishing
mowers and many other attachments can be used with the three point
hitch. The three point hitches include the rock shaft. |

Questions and Answers
|
Q:
I have a 76 Jim Dandy Economy Tractor with a 3 point hitch. How can I tell
what size it is? Would it be a size O?
A:
If it has 5/8” pins it is category 0.
Q:
Would your 3 point hitch system fit either a John Deere 345 or
GX345? Just checking before purchase.
A: You cannot
put a three point hitch on any of the John Deere 345 tractors. You
would have to have something like the John Deere 318 and the 400
series tractors.
Q: I have a John Deere 318. If i install a 3 point hitch, can I
keep my mower deck on when using the hitch? Does it run off of the
same hydraulic line? If
so, would it be possible to change the lines so one lever controls
the deck and the other controls the hitch?
A: Both the 3
point hitch and the mower deck are operated by the one cylinder,
therefore you can not separate the 2 of them.
Q: I see you have 3 point hitches for a John Deere 455 garden
tractors. Are they Category 0 or 1?
A: The John
Deere 455 was only available with the Cat 0 hitch.
Q: I was given a 3pt hitch kit off of a
425 lawn and garden tractor that is
brand new. Will this fit onto my 430 lawn and garden tractor?
A: No, this
kit you have will fit only the John Deere 425, 445, and the 455.
Q: I need a 3 point hitch for my John Deere 445, What else will
I need to use 3 point
attachments (Hydraulics etc...)? I
don't have the rear PTO as I really am only interested in a box
blade.
A: You are correct, you do not need to
invest in the rear PTO to operate a
box blade.
