When you’re hooking up that big disc harrow or heavy mower deck and the implement won’t line up right, it’s usually your lower link balls that are worn out. These are the connection points that take all the stress when you’re lifting heavy implements, and when they get sloppy, everything else suffers. This complete ball and guide cone assembly gets your Category 3 hitch working like it should—smooth engagement, secure connection, and no more fighting with stubborn implements.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty steel construction that handles the loads these big tractors dish out
- Precision-machined guide cone that makes implement hookup a breeze, even when you can’t see what you’re doing
- Proper Category 3 sizing—63.5mm outer diameter with 36mm inner bore for the right fit
- Corrosion-resistant finish that holds up through seasons of mud, salt, and weather
- Works with conversion bushings if you need to hook up smaller implements occasionally
Built for Real Farm Work
This assembly fits those big 80-225 horsepower tractors that handle the heavy lifting on larger farms—the machines that pull 15-foot discs, run big rotary cutters, and lift heavy implements all day long. Whether you’re prepping 200 acres for planting or cutting hay with a 12-foot mower, your Category 3 hitch has to work reliably every single time you need it.
Made to Last
Category 3 implements don’t mess around, and neither does this assembly. The hardened steel construction handles the shock loads you get when hitting rocks or dropping implements. The precision tolerances ensure proper weight transfer to your drive wheels for better traction, and the guide cone design reduces wear on both the ball and implement connections.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement for several common part numbers, so chances are good it’ll bolt right in. Given the weight of Category 3 implements and the forces involved, having a shop handle the installation isn’t a bad idea—these assemblies need to be properly torqued and aligned. Replace both sides at the same time if you can, and give everything a good greasing while you’re in there.
