Kubota BX1870 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota BX1870 should be judged from the 680 lb (308 kg) lift at 24 inches behind the link ends figure. That gives a better real-world read than horsepower alone
24-inch lift note
A 24-inch rating matters because weight gets harder to lift as it moves farther behind the tractor
Hitch category note
For the Kubota BX1870, Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note
For hydraulic context, the Kubota BX1870 is listed at 6.6 gpm (25 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions
Operating weight note
Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota BX1870’s captured operating weight is 1,345 lb (610 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability
Rear implement matching
The Kubota BX1870 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like small rear blade, carryall, light ballast box, small landscape rake, and light mower are in the right size range

What is the Kubota BX1870 3-point hitch lift capacity?
The Kubota BX1870 is listed with 680 lb (308 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends. That makes it a light rear-lift tractor, so it is best suited to lighter rear implements, small blades, carryalls and light ballast boxes.
What does the Kubota BX1870 24-inch lift capacity mean?
It means the Kubota BX1870 is rated to lift 680 lb (308 kg) with the load measured 24 inches behind the link ends. That is usually closer to real implement use than a hitch-end-only number.

What rear implements can the Kubota BX1870 lift?
Use the 680 lb (308 kg) rating at 24 inches behind the link ends as the first filter for implements such as small rear blade, carryall, light ballast box, small landscape rake, and light mower. Also check hitch category Category 1 and operating weight 1,345 lb (610 kg) before choosing the implement.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota BX1870?
No. The Kubota BX1870 may list 680 lb (308 kg) of rear lift, but the 1,345 lb (610 kg) operating weight and 6.6 gpm (25 L/min) hydraulic flow also matter for real work.
