	Any garden or compact tractor is more valuable if a 3 point hitch can be installed on it or if it comes with one installed. The first 3 point hitch made by John Deere for their garden tractors was in 1968 to be used on the John Deere 140 garden tractor then followed by the John Deere 400 that came out in 1975. Category 0 (zero) was the size classification that came on the garden tractor. The next size up for the compact utility tractors is category 1 (one). Three point hitches have exceptional lifting power. Three point hitches are made to the same standard between the different makes and models of tractors. If the 3 point hitch equipment you buy is category 1 it will fit onto any make or model of tractor that has a category 1 hitch. 3 point hitches can be used for attachments such as rear blades and box blades that are very useful for moving dirt and gravel. A moboard plow, sprayer, sickle mower, rough cut mower, finishing mowers and many other attachments can be used with the three point hitch. The three point hitches include the rock shaft.
