I was the guy that reached out. Those telescoping arms come out and then they are pretty easy to grind down. Once they are off it's easy to do the test fit on the quick hitch. This quick hitch is worth the effort to make work!
Hey brother, the width of the ball on the lift arm is the problem. Diameter is the a measure across the circular part. Still got your point and this is a good informative video 👍👍
That is a very helpful video! I've thought about buying a Kioti NX and it is hard to find a used one that is Cat 1. Most for sale are Cat 2. I am now a wiser man for having watched this!
Happy thanksgiving Courtney! Anything that makes it easier to hook up 3 pt attachments is worth it's weight in gold. Struggled with them for years when I was younger.
Pat's does offer the down size conversion quick hitches. I just got Pat's for my second machine and almost got the conversion units, but opted to keep it cat 2 and just use spacers so I wouldn't limit myself from using bigger attachments later if I could get a good deal. Pat's are awesome especially if you have older equipment that won't work with standard quick hitch frames.
I would love for you to do a in depth video on tractor tire chains there are lots of different ones and I’m having trouble figuring out witch ones are the best sorry I know this is not related to this videos but I’m hoping to hear your opinion about this subject thanks man for your hard work it helps a lot of us tractor owners
If I'm right, that's what it means when a manufacturer calls the 3 point Cat 1 and 2 capable? I've always wondered how they were both, and that explains it.
@@oefveteran09It depends. Our old early 80s Kubota M4050DT has cat 1 and cat 2. The lift arms have cat 1 on one end and cat 2 on the other with bushings. I flipped the arms for using cat 2 with our snowblower and bushings for our other cat 1 attachments, and never changed back. This is why I also don't use a quick hitch. All old non-quick hitch compatible equipment that is too expensive to replace for convenience. Experience has changed me to being a better driver to line up the hitch better and less fighting the 3 point.
There are pins you can get that go through and extend out the (far) side on the quick hitch. Arms are then on the outside, and slide onto the pins, instead of having the pin go through like a clevis.
Happy thanksgiving GWT family. I had similar issue when I first got a Kioti NX5510 as most commonly used implements are Cat 1 but anything 50+ hp comes with Cat 2 so no way to put on a Speeco or any Cat 1 quick attach. That’s why ended up with Pat’s Cat 2 and a Pat’s Cat 2 to 1. When I use the Cat 2 to 1 to hook up a Cat 1 implement the top link is still a little loose (needs a sleeve to take up slack around pin). Looking forward to your DK first hand perspective and testing all the implements on it.
When I ordered the CK2610 I had them toss on telescopic links, and then I tossed Pat's EZ Change on there and they work awesome together. Typically I don't need to adjust them, but when I make a mistake in my judgment they have proven very forgiving lol.
Happy Thanksgiving. Whatever it takes you definitely want to get a SpeeCo quick-hitch on your three-point. Best accessory ever. Thank you Courtney & GWT.
Pats comes in Cat 2. I ground the ball down on a Cat 2 hydraulic top link to fit in my MX Cat 1 top link point (plus used a bushing). They were out of the cat 1 top links at the time (middle of Covid).
Something else to keep in mind with Kioti with the little pin hitch that sticks out, when running attachments your PTO will rub on that and ruin your plastic cover on your PTO. It happened to me so I just took it right out.
I had the same problem putting a Cat 1 land pride quick hitch on my Cat 2 New Holland workmaster 70. I just bought a pin that was threaded Cat 1 sized on one end and smooth Cat 2 sized on the other. It has a shoulder between the different diameters. I got 2 nuts and used them to lock the threaded portion into the quick hitch, with the smooth end sticking out the sides. I could just put my Cat 2 arms on those pins and place a clevis pin on the outside. Cheap, easy, and i didn't have to modify anything.
Great content. Looking to buy my first tractor. The Yanmar YM seems to have the ball that will fit both Cat 1 or Cat 2. Just have to swivel the ball around.
Great video. This would look mysteriously like a mass opportunity for SpeeCo to adapt to make that channel slot a little beefier to support the Cat-2 hook-up and go larger, with the opportunities to widen that channel slot to accept the Cat-2, then to supply both the Cat-2 and Cat-1 Pins and any bushings or washer-shims for backward usage down-to the Cat-1 use when needed with the purchase as an option with an upcharge. The popularity of that cross-diverse Cat-2 & Cat-1 design of an adaptable quick-hitch would rocket sales would be a great probability. You already performed some R&D (research & development) on the concept and as you stated, there is nothing available at this time to be that cross-adaptable to your knowledge. Just a thought. Have a great Thanksgiving.
I have a Kubota MX5400 and it has Cat2 extendable links. My Speeco ehitch fits no problem with a cat2 to cat1 bushing. No grinding required. I am guessing that the width is thinner than the Kioti version.
I have a cat 2 hitch factory on my 5 series Deere with the telescoping links just like you have. I was able to put the cat 1 quick hitch on with no problem I just had to put bushings in
Massey has both size holes in those rotating spheres (opposite of each other). I am not sure on the width of the arms, but if they work for the Category 1, then the cat 1 holes must be at the correct size.
Your point is about the Speeco but I solved that problem with a Land Pride QH16 Cat I quickly hitch mounted to my Kubota MX5400 Cat II 3 pt hitch with the reducer bushings. That’s the only one I found where the lower connector channels were wide enough to accept Cat 2 mounts. Land Pride designed the QH16 to mount to both Cat 1&2 hitches but only mounts to Cat 1 implements.
The red Speeco in this video also fits the MX as well. It has nothing to do with it being Land Pride brand. The balls on the MX are narrow enough to fit in the cat 1 hitch. I’ve got videos on my channel of the red Speeco cat 1 on an MX6000.
@@GoodWorksTractors I have a 1998 MF 231 that came with cat 1 & 2 option. The balls in the link arms are interchangeable. Came with cat 1 & 2 balls from factory. There is a small pin on the inside of each arm that you can pull out and swap the balls out. That would be a great option to include from the factory on these newer slightly larger tractors that come with cat 2 and are running into this problem when wanting to use the cat 1 equipment or the quick attach as you showed.
At 4:19 the left rear tire looks like it's crooked, leaning right at the top. Don't know if it's the camera or not but it also looks crooked with the axle. I own a Kioti myself, DK45. Thought you might investigate and I hope I'm wrong.
With the top link is a cat l - cat ll. The end on the tractor is cat l the end that goes to your implement is cat ll. Or at least that's how my dk5510 came. Most all the dk`s I've seen in my are come with the cat ll hitch on them even if the don't have expendable links.
I have not measured the width of my JD 5075E Cat 2 ball ends but they fit in the i-match quick hitch that's on there now and I use reducer bushings to adapt to the Cat 1 pin size. Either the Kioti ball end is bigger, the Speeco is smaller, or both than Deere.
I have the same problem. I bought your quick hitch but it will not fit my tractor. On my Massey 2860 at the end of the lift arm it has a ball that you can turn for cat 1 or 2 but the ball is too wide to fit the quick hitch. Grinding them down is the way to go.
My Kubota MX4800 has the extendible Cat 2 end upgrade on the lower arms also. My cat 1 Land Pride QH10 quick-hitch is made with extra material in the mounting area (about 2” wide) so that the cat 2 tractor arms fit right in. Only needed the cat1-cat2 sleeves. So Land Pride is more money but is engineered to fit the tractor correctly. Perhaps Kioti sells a quick hitch that fits correctly also. I don’t know but again, a question to ask of the tractor manufacturer. Thank you for your videos. I’m a 3rd generation tractor dealer, ultimately spending 32 years as a dealer principle in a small Ford New Holland and Kubota dealership before retiring.
The reason it fits is because the MX balls are narrower than a full size cat 2 ball. Land Pride does not built a quick hitch to specifically fit the MX. The red Speeco cat 1 hitch in this video will also fit on the MX. I’ve put them in there myself. I have videos on my channel of an MX6000 with the Speeco cat 1 hitch on it.
I see some mfg have a bushing in them that have both cat 1 and 2 size holes maybe you could find those it would be a great item to stock as well as im sure others run into this problem as well I enjoy your content Thanks
your video helped me to purchase a Kioti NS - love my NS, thank you - but dumbass here (me) I have one operation challenge. When running the PTO in Auto, i am fine with the run when lowered and off when raised auto setting - but for the life of my I can't get "Manual" to work... What am I doing wrong?
First off Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Now on to the question, I have 45+ acres of wooded land. I need to clear a road back to the 4 acre area I plan for a house and food plot. Ai am looking at getting a KX-075-5 0r a Yanmar VIO-55 may VIO- 80 which one would be better? I know the Kubota stuff have used them before. I am looking at price and power, never did anything with Yanmar, My friend who has a construction business uses them and will not change said they are the best. Looking for outside info, I am also planning to do the clearing myself, I am retired from the business so know how to do it and want to.
Great content as usual however, is this really a Kioti issue or more of a dealer issue? I say that because it sounds to me like they were shipped from the factory set up correctly however, the dealer trying to appease the customer made the change that created the content for this segment. Happy Thanksgiving Have a happy Thanksgiving.
I think there may be a few tractors where the ball swivels between cat1 and cat2. I can't remember the brand. I wonder if the cat1 ball will fit the quick hitch.
Kinda nice you can just change the ends and go from cat 1 to cat 2 on that machine. Wouldn’t break the bank if you ever wanted or needed cat 2 instead.
Is the top link still cat 1 or was that changed when they added the cat 2 links? Cat 1 is 7/8" pin and 18" over center while the cat 2 is 1" pin and 24" over center.
Someone needs to build a quick hitch that is like some of the attachments that have both cat 1 and 2 side by side. I think this is going to be a more common problem with the higher hp compact tractors. The machine size is more in line with cat 1 but the hp is in the cat 2 implements
My SpeeCo QH doesn't work with my 5' box blade. Kinda useless when there appear to be no standards on dimensions with attachments. Now I need to sell the QH, more trouble than it's worth! Pats is not a solution either, still need to do top bar, which is why I bought the QH in the first place, to save effort and my old back.
There are standards for quick hitches and quick hitches compatible attachments. Most manufacturers follow these criteria. Very old attachments often aren’t as they were from before the quick hitch era. Sometimes foreign and often very cheap attachments ignore this simple requirement. It doesn’t cost more to make them quick hitches compatible. It’s either ignorance or lack of concern for the customer.
@@GoodWorksTractors yeah, it's from Behlen Country. Just bought it. Literally the only brand sold within 200 miles of me. Their support basically laughed at me for using a QH. Super not impressed.
@@GoodWorksTractorsI agree there are standards for quick hitches. However the standard is broad enough that a QH manufacturer can make their hitch at one end of the standard and an implement manufacturer on the other end of the same standard and not be able to use the two together. Doesn't happen too often, but enough times that consumers have gotten caught in the scenario described above. So yes, MOST of today's manufacturers follow the standard, the question is where in the standard they choose to manufacture their product(s)?
Oh just ship that quick hitch to me to use on my CK2620HST...then you won't have to trip over it and remind yourself about the boo boo each time you encounter it in the shop. Lol
Could have just used some Cat 1 bushings and called it a day. Kudos to whoever sold it to you for upgrading to the Cat 2. So you're really going to downgrade and send those back? Just use some Cat 1 bushings - they're cheap! BTW, just go with the Pat's quick hitch. They're so much more versatile if you've got multiple implements with varying widths.
@@GoodWorksTractors I did see a company that made the arms coming out that you change the steel ball with the hole in it. You could go up or down in one pin size. I don't know who the company was anymore since I don't have that problem
I have bought 100’s of tractors that are 50HP and greater which had cat 1. That includes the John Deere 4066r and 4720 that have been featured on the channel.
How so, sportsfan? Did Courtney specify or install the wrong size himself? Seems at worse a communication error on the part of the dealer. Even then, it's not some big issue, it's a matter of swapping parts.
I'm amazed that americans still use imperial system of mesurement even because they failed at 1/3 pounder vs 1/4 pounder burgers.... It's just confusing... in metric you know 20 is lower than 22.... higher number vs lower....
Mahindra has the 2 in 1 ball for either or… industry should get in lock step on this and quit fooling around with swapping your whole link end out kinda ridiculous at this point.
I was the guy that reached out. Those telescoping arms come out and then they are pretty easy to grind down. Once they are off it's easy to do the test fit on the quick hitch. This quick hitch is worth the effort to make work!
Yeah, I agree...if no other solution, this is what I would have done. Thanks Luke!

Best purchase I have made to date. Speeco quick hitch from good works. No more kicking link arms to get them to line up.
Massey has cat 1&2 on their larger compact tractors, just rotate the ball to the correct pin size and top link has a bushing.
I think utility tractors like my M4 or similar should all come with that setup

I prefer pats easy hitch because I borrow some attachments and a regular quick hitch messes with the PTO shaft length.

I think there may be a few tractors where the ball swivels between cat1 and cat2. I can't remember the brand. I wonder if the cat1 ball will fit the quick hitch.
Massey does and the cat 1 should fit because there’s flats on both sides where they narrowed it.
Yeah there are. Utility tractors could definitely use this. No need for me to use cat 2 on this tractor though.
My dad's New Holland Boomer 40 has the rotating balls and telescoping end links to accommodate both Cat 1 and 2.
@@GoodWorksTractors Totally agree! Cat 2 only implements start getting pretty big for a tractor that size.
Seems like a simple change to the box of the quick hitch receiver if you couldn’t change the cat 2 to a 1
I believe JD 4052m and 4066m HEAVY DUTY versions have links that the balls can rotate to CAT 1 or 2. I thought about putting them on my 4066r
Kinda nice you can just change the ends and go from cat 1 to cat 2 on that machine. Wouldn’t break the bank if you ever wanted or needed cat 2 instead.
Pat’s does offer a CAT 2 to 1 option.
Nice, I don't like Pat's...it's like a partial solution. Suppose it's better than nothing for some though.
I am confused. I have a MX with the cat 2 lift arms and use a cat1 speeco quick hitch.. I had to cut down the bushings but it works great.
Is the top link still cat 1 or was that changed when they added the cat 2 links? Cat 1 is 7/8" pin and 18" over center while the cat 2 is 1" pin and 24" over center.
Good question, I'm not sure. I can definitely fix that on my own if needed. Just by going to buy a cat 1 top link.
I just modified my hitch wasn't hard at all ......just a little cutting and welding
Someone needs to build a quick hitch that is like some of the attachments that have both cat 1 and 2 side by side. I think this is going to be a more common problem with the higher hp compact tractors. The machine size is more in line with cat 1 but the hp is in the cat 2 implements
Courteney use a Quick hitch cat 1 de John deere Imatch and put a bushing cat 2 to cat 1 and cut the bushing same size of the inside the Imatch
So what is your solution as I just bought a Kioti NS6010 HST that has Cat 1 lower arms and own a Speedco Cat 1?
Watch this video: ruclips.net/video/heQ9iAgsP0s/видео.html
Huh... I'm always dealing with the reverse issue... need cat 2, and most times that used attachment is only tiny cat 1
I did with my John Deere 5075e with Imatch cat 1
My SpeeCo QH doesn't work with my 5' box blade. Kinda useless when there appear to be no standards on dimensions with attachments. Now I need to sell the QH, more trouble than it's worth!

However the standard is broad enough that a QH manufacturer can make their hitch at one end of the standard and an implement manufacturer on the other end of the same standard and not be able to use the two together. Doesn't happen too often, but enough times that consumers have gotten caught in the scenario described above.
So yes, MOST of today's manufacturers follow the standard, the question is where in the standard they choose to manufacture their product(s)?
Why not keep the cat two and buy the cat one adapter, so you can use both as needed.
Oh just ship that quick hitch to me to use on my CK2620HST...then you won't have to trip over it and remind yourself about the boo boo each time you encounter it in the shop. Lol
Articulated lifting arms are better than telescoping and/or QH set up.😊 In the real world, just my opinion
Could have just used some Cat 1 bushings and called it a day. Kudos to whoever sold it to you for upgrading to the Cat 2. So you're really going to downgrade and send those back? Just use some Cat 1 bushings - they're cheap! BTW, just go with the Pat's quick hitch. They're so much more versatile if you've got multiple implements with varying widths.
I have a Landpride quick hitch QU15 it accepts category II tractor hook up into the quick hitch
Not a true cat 2
Why not just get a cat II quick hitch?
All attachments I use for that machine are cat 1.
Isn't the DK6010 equivalent in size to a grand L or a 4R?
Much smaller. Closest in physical size is the John Deere 3r Series. Significantly smaller footprint than a 4r. Kubota L3560 is fairly close.
You have to cut off the pins and weld the size on you want. You have to do with each piece
That would be the last method I would suggest, but would certainly do it
@@GoodWorksTractors I did see a company that made the arms coming out that you change the steel ball with the hole in it. You could go up or down in one pin size. I don't know who the company was anymore since I don't have that problem
The no bushings is Gigantic.
Do you sell front fenders for Kubota b series?
need a top & tilt kit on there
Does John Deere have the 3 pt up grade for a 2025r?
Don’t believe so
You should try out a Yanmar tractor
My Kubota L6060 is a cat II hitch.
But you can use a cat 1 quick hitch. I've installed them on the L6060 for customers.
My 3 pt attachments are all combination Cat 1 and II with only one exception. In that case it is cat 1 and I use bushings.@@GoodWorksTractors
I did with my 5075 e
anything 50 hp and up comes in cat 2
I have bought 100’s of tractors that are 50HP and greater which had cat 1. That includes the John Deere 4066r and 4720 that have been featured on the channel.
So it's not a " Kioti" problem its more a user induced problem
Agree to disagree, Happy Thanksgiving!
How so, sportsfan? Did Courtney specify or install the wrong size himself? Seems at worse a communication error on the part of the dealer. Even then, it's not some big issue, it's a matter of swapping parts.
If a Cat 1 lift arm came as standard on the Kioti, then it's not a Kioti problem.
@@garymeyer3294 seems a dealer problem to me. 🤷♂️
Now wouldn't it be funny if a John Deere I match quick hitch pinned right up to it.
Inquiring minds would like to know..
Hint Hint
It won’t. Same dimensions on the iMatch.
Are you talking with not diameter?
I don't understand the question.
Yes, WIDTH, not Diameter. Pretty obvious if you watch the video. He just misspoke.
@rawwetzel, you mistyped like he misspoke. 😊
Wow just asking a question to be clear.
I'm amazed that americans still use imperial system of mesurement even because they failed at 1/3 pounder vs 1/4 pounder burgers.... It's just confusing... in metric you know 20 is lower than 22.... higher number vs lower....
Mahindra has the 2 in 1 ball for either or… industry should get in lock step on this and quit fooling around with swapping your whole link end out kinda ridiculous at this point.
BFH 😂
