John Deere 8010 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Hitch category note
Category matters as much as capacity. The John Deere 8010 is listed with Category 2, so implement pins and hitch width need to suit that setup
PTO and weight context
Use the rear lift spec first, then use rear PTO horsepower is 200 hp and operating weight is 19,700 lb (8,936 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 hay equipment, larger mower, cultivator, heavy blade, and mounted planter
