Description
When your three-point hitch lift arms start showing wear at the attachment points, you need a ball socket that’ll hold up to real farm work. This Category 2 extra heavy duty ball socket features a 1-1/8″ ID bore and zinc plated finish to handle the stress of connecting implements and keep corrosion at bay. It’s the kind of repair that gets your hitch working smoothly again without breaking the bank.
What You’re Getting
- Extra heavy duty construction that won’t crack under pressure like standard duty sockets
- Zinc plated finish protects against rust and corrosion from field conditions
- Precise 1-1/8″ bore that matches Category 2 pin specifications for a snug fit
- 1-3/4″ bore length and 3-1/8″ outside diameter provide plenty of material for strong welds
- Professional dimensions mean it’ll work with standard Category 2 pins and implements
Built for Real Farm Work
This socket is sized for Category 2 three-point hitch systems found on mid-size to larger tractors—the workhorses that handle everything from heavy tillage to big round balers. Whether you’re switching between a disc harrow and a planter, or hooking up that manure spreader for another load, this socket provides the strong connection point your lift arms need to handle the job.
Made to Last
The extra heavy duty rating isn’t just marketing talk—this socket has thicker walls and more material where it counts. The zinc plating helps it resist the constant moisture and chemical exposure that farm equipment faces, while the precision bore ensures your pins fit properly and don’t develop slop over time.
Installation Notes
This is a weld-on socket that requires cutting out the old worn socket and welding this one in place. Make sure you have the lift arm properly supported and positioned before welding. A good tip is to insert a Category 2 pin through the socket during welding to keep everything aligned and prevent distortion from the heat.
