Kubota FT23 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For the Kubota FT23, 680 lb (308 kg) is the headline rear-lift capacity captured. This matters for ballast boxes, tillers, blades, mowers and other mounted implements
24-inch lift note
The 24-inch lift figure is usually the more useful number because rear implements hang behind the lift arms, not directly on them
Hitch category note
The Kubota FT23 hitch category is listed as Category 1. This matters because rear implements need to match the tractor’s hitch pin size and geometry
Hydraulic flow note
The 9.4 gpm (35.6 L/min) hydraulic flow figure helps round out the Kubota FT23’s rear-implement picture, especially where hydraulic attachments or remotes are involved
Operating weight note
The 2,326 lb (1,055 kg) operating weight gives context for the Kubota FT23’s hitch lift capacity. Rear ballast and tire setup can still change the real-world feel
Rear implement matching
Use the Kubota FT23’s hitch capacity as a filter before shopping for small rear blade, carryall, light ballast box, small landscape rake, and light mower
Kubota FT23 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota FT23 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota FT23 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 FT23?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota FT23 is Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota FT23 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota FT23’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.
Do hydraulic flow and weight matter for the Kubota FT23?
Yes. The Kubota FT23 lists hydraulic pump flow of 9.4 gpm (35.6 L/min) and operating weight of 2,326 lb (1,055 kg). Lift capacity says what it can raise; flow and weight help describe hydraulic response and stability.
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.
