John Deere 6120 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
24 in / 610 mm lift note
This is the number to watch if the implement is long, heavy or carries most of its mass behind the hitch points
Hitch category note
Category matters as much as capacity. The John Deere 6120 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 65 hp and operating weight is 9,350 lb (4,241 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
