John Deere 4500 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Hitch category note

PTO and weight context
Use the rear lift spec first, then use rear PTO horsepower is 33 hp and operating weight is 4,100 lb (1,860 kg) to judge whether the implement is sensible for real work
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
