See your John Deere dealer to purchase an Adapter Kit (F) for tractors equipped with a Category 5 drawbar when attaching to implements equipped with a Category 4 hitch link if approved by implement manufacturer.

Use the Category 5 drawbar pin furnished with the tractor to attach implements that have a Category 5 hitch link. See table below for dimensions. Consult the implement Operator's Manual or manufacturer to determine proper size of drawbar pin for the implement attaching system. Operating tractor and implements with drawbar category combinations which are not properly sized for implement power requirements could result in premature wear or failure of hitch components.

IMPORTANT: Use the Category 5 drawbar pin for implements that produce drawbar loads requiring more than 348 kW (467 HP) engine power level rating or 300kW (400 HP) PTO power level rating for proper operation. Contact the implement manufacturer for information on how to properly convert the implement to accept the Category 5 drawbar pin.
