Cat 1 are lighter duty and usually on tractors up to around 50 hp. Cat 2 is used on tractors from the 50 to 100+ hp. The pins are a larger diameter on cat 2 to support bigger, heavier attachments. If I remember correctly the lower lift pins are 7/8 inch on cat 1 and 1 1/8 on cat 2. There are higher categories for the bigger tractors.
