Cat 2/3 balls. Who has them in stock?

[sheepdogtrail]

I have looked all over the USA and I can find anyone with lower link balls that have a cat 3 hole (1 7/16), but are diameter of a cat 2 ball. I have been told it is at least 4 weeks out as they need to come from the EU.

I have checked spaldings and sparex.

Any idea on who may have them in the UK or EU.

I need to have them shipped to me here in the US.

Got 2 x3 gallon bucket full of various cat 2/3 balls would sell

I found some plain cat 2/3 balls online @ malpasonline.co.uk. I placed a order for them.

However, they are sold out of that size balls with the cat 3 flange attached.

@Will 1594 - if you have cat 2/3 balls with attached flanges let me know via pm. I am looking for 4 of them.

Thanks to all who gave me pointers here on where to find them.

Just to clarify, are you looking for balls with a cat3 outer circumference and cat 2 hole or the other way around?

I read it as the other way around. Putting a cat 3 machine onto a tractor with cat 2 hook ends.

So did I which is why I thought it needs clarification as I think the other answers were for the normal 3/2 balls but I might be wrong.

@marshtowers has the correct one from Kramp.

Maybe not online, but my local Malpas dealership they keep all the different balls in stock all the time. I know using implements on 3pt hitch is done less regularly over in the states as it is here though. Actually I think most tractor dealerships in the UK would have a pretty good inventory of 3pt hitch balls, and shims for them and the pins too.

I am fitting a implement with cat 3 pins on a tractor with cat 2 hooks.

Unfortunately, Kramp online does not work for buyers in the US. SpareX has them online, but they are flagged UK delivery only. Malpas online list them as out of stock.

Surprised at that. MF/Challenger would have a large cross over.
