Description

When you’re running big iron and heavy implements, a worn top link pin can turn your most productive tractor into a headache. This pin is specifically designed for Category 3 three-point hitch systems on larger agricultural tractors in the 80-225 horsepower range pulling massive cultivators, offset discs, commercial rippers, and other heavy implements that smaller tractors just can’t handle. This little workhorse might be small, but it’s what keeps your implements properly positioned and lets your hydraulics do their job smoothly—a fresh pin gets rid of that sloppy connection and puts you back in control.

What You’re Getting

32mm (1-1/4 inch) diameter provides significantly increased shear strength compared to smaller pins, ensuring safe operation under maximum load conditions
Made from heat-treated grade 5, C40 steel that has been gold oxide plated for exceptional durability and longevity in demanding agricultural applications
Manufactured to Category 3 specifications with superior metallurgy that withstands the extreme forces generated by large implements and powerful tractors
Direct replacement that installs in minutes with basic hand tools

Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work

This pin works with Category 3 three-point hitch systems on larger agricultural tractors in the 80-225 horsepower range where the hitch significantly increases the diameters of the link pins to 1 1/4 inch for the top link pin. Whether you’re running a larger disc harrow, cultivator, or chisel plow that came off a bigger tractor, this pin is designed for the tremendous forces your top link endures when you’re pulling heavy implements or working tough ground.

Made to Last

Farm pins take a beating from constant hookup and unhookup cycles, plus all the vibration and side loads that come with field work. This isn’t just a piece of pipe with the right dimensions—it’s precisely machined steel built to handle the compression and tension forces that three-point hitches deal with every day. The heat-treated construction and protective plating mean this pin will hold up to years of demanding use.

Installation Notes

Always ensure pin is fully inserted through both sides of the hitch receiver and properly secured with retaining clip, and inspect regularly for signs of wear, bending, or fatigue cracking. Never use undersized pins in Category 3 applications as this creates serious safety hazards. If your old pin has been in there a while, a little penetrating oil around the connection points makes removal much easier.
