John Deere 6030 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Hitch category note
Category matters as much as capacity. The John Deere 6030 is listed with Category 2, so implement pins and hitch width need to suit that setup
PTO and weight context
Use the rear lift spec first, then use rear PTO horsepower is 176 hp and operating weight is 18,180 lb (8,246 kg) to judge whether the implement is sensible for real work
Rear implement matching
Rear hitch capacity is most useful when comparing actual implement weights, especially for hay equipment, larger mower, cultivator, heavy blade, and mounted planter
