You can get ball & pin rated to 4000kg but only people with a pre 19-01-2013 BE licence & a suitable vehicle could max them out.

Remember though that the max gross weight you can tow on a ball (or for that matter with over-run brakes) is 3.5 tonnes, so a ball & pin hitch with a 4 tonne rating can still only tow 3.5 tonnes gross on the ball, but can tow 4 tonnes gross on the pin with coupled brakes.

Yep I should have made that clear.

just remember whatever weight your towing with the tractor your maximum speed is 25mph, irrespective of what gearbox is in it
