Hitch category note
Category matters as much as capacity. The John Deere 50F is listed with Category 2, so implement pins and hitch width need to suit that setup
PTO and weight context

Rear implement matching
Rear hitch capacity is most useful when comparing actual implement weights, especially for rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box
