Tractors with a Limited Category I hitch

Limited Category I (Ltd Cat I) is a sub-compact and small-compact hitch geometry that uses standard Cat I 7/8 inch pins but with narrower lift arm spacing, typically around 26 inches instead of the standard 28 inches. John Deere's 1 Series (1023E, 1025R, 1026R) and several New Holland and Mahindra sub-compacts use this geometry.

The practical impact: a standard Cat I implement may not seat correctly on the lower lift arms without modification. iMatch quick-hitches (John Deere's solution) and 'sub-compact' or 'Ltd Cat I' versions of common attachments are designed for this narrower spacing.

Below is every tractor in our database currently flagged as Ltd Cat I, with PTO HP and 3-point lift capacity sourced from the OEM spec sheet.

• Standard Cat I implements often won't fit without re-drilling the lower hitch points, buy iMatch or Ltd Cat I versions when possible.
• Many implements list both Cat I and Ltd Cat I in their spec sheet, confirm before purchase.
• iMatch quick-hitches dramatically simplify swapping attachments and are well worth the cost on a Ltd Cat I tractor.
