The Kubota B2231’s 680 lb (308 kg) lift rating at 24 inches behind the link ends is the better real-world number for mounted implements than a bare hitch-end rating

Kubota B2231 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota B2231 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota B2231 is 680 lb (308 kg). Use that as the first-pass number for rear implements, not as a front-loader rating.
Why does the 24-inch rear lift spec matter?
The 680 lb (308 kg) rating matters because mounted implements put weight behind the lift arms. That extra distance makes the tractor work harder than a close-in hitch-end test.
What hitch category is the Kubota B2231?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota B2231 is Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota B2231 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota B2231’s useful lift reference is 680 lb (308 kg). It may suit small rear blade, carryall, light ballast box, small landscape rake, and light mower, but keep the implement light and leave margin for overhang, because this is not a heavy rear-lift setup.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota B2231?
No. The Kubota B2231 may list 680 lb (308 kg) of rear lift, but the 2,381 lb (1,080 kg) operating weight and 8.3 gpm (31.4 L/min) hydraulic flow also matter for real work.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Tractor hitch lift specs can change by year, market, tire setup, ballast, hitch option and measurement point. Please check the operator manual, build sheet and official kubotausa.com website for official information before buying or lifting heavy implements.
