Cat 1 vs. Cat 0 Lift Heights

[lpavao]

With a nex X585 on it's way I'm a little confused regarding all of the talk regarding lift heights on x series 3pt's. How high will the hitch raise vs. the JD2210 or Kubota BX2230?. Also, is it more beneficial to have a Cat 0 installed?.

Go with the Limited Cat 1 3pt Hitch.

Well- there is a difference. With my tiller on the X585, it would scrape the driveway a bit loading it on the trailer. With the same tiller on the 2210 it clears just fine. The arms on the 2210 are longer giving more lift. Diffinitely go with the Cat 1 which allows you to use many more attachments.

Also I have the X585 service manual on disc that I no longer need cause I have the 2210 now. Send me a private email if interested.

I have an X595 with a factory 3PH. It is considered a limited Cat 1 and I can lift up a 400 lb ballast box with 8-9" of ground clearance. Check with your dealer because it may not be possible to install a full Cat 1 on your machine. He should also be able to provide you with all the lift specs for the limited CAT 1 hitch on a 585. Cat 0s are very limited, so even if it would fit on your machine, I would stay away from it.
