class 11/1 3 point?

[Oldstuff]

I looked on tractor data and it list a Massey Ferguson model 261 as a class 11/1 3 point setup. I am not familiar with a multi class arrangement- what does this mean?

It says Class II/I. So it's a Class 2/1 hitch, meaning that lower arms can go narrow enough for the class 1 implements and wide enough for the class 2. It may also have lower link balls with holes for cat 1 and cat 2, although it's not really necessary as bushings can be used to go from 2 to 1.

Got it, thanks.

Original poster here, I just realized I for got to ask what class of PTO would a Massey model 261 have- class 1 or 2. I do not see it on tractor data.

PTO class? I've not heard that term before. PTO is normally specified by power - the HP delivered and the RPM. Then they can be transmission driven, "Live", or Fully Independent.

PTO types clarification??

Switching from Category I to Category II on the PTO Hitch?

Clarification of my terms- Since the Massey 261 is 60 HP I assume the PTO shaft is a Category 2, would this be correct?
