Description
When you’re hooking up heavy implements to your Category 3 tractor, the top link pin is what holds everything together under serious stress. Whether you’re pulling a 12-bottom plow through heavy clay or running a 40-foot field cultivator, this pin takes tremendous forces every time you lift an implement or work in rough terrain. A worn or undersized pin isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a safety risk that could leave you stranded or worse.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty 1-1/4 inch diameter provides the shear strength needed for Category 3 implements
- 4-3/8 inch usable length with 6-1/2 inch overall length fits Category 3 top link assemblies perfectly
- Hardened steel construction handles the extreme forces from large tractors and implements
- Direct replacement for multiple OEM numbers—no guessing if it’ll fit your setup
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
This pin is specifically designed for Category 3 three-point hitch systems on larger agricultural tractors in the 80-225 horsepower range. The Category 3 hitch significantly increases the diameters of the link pins to 1 1/4 inch (top link pin) and 1 7/16 inch (lift arm pins). These are the workhorses pulling massive cultivators, offset discs, commercial rippers, and other heavy implements that smaller tractors just can’t handle.
Made to Last
Manufactured to Category 3 specifications with superior metallurgy that withstands the extreme forces generated by large implements and powerful tractors. The larger 1-1/4″ 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.
Installation Notes
Always ensure pin is fully inserted through both sides of the hitch receiver and properly secured with retaining clip. Inspect regularly for signs of wear, bending, or fatigue cracking. Never use undersized pins in Category 3 applications as this creates serious safety hazards. This is a direct replacement that installs in minutes with basic hand tools.
