Kubota GB180 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For the Kubota GB180, 2,980 lb (1,352 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 GB180 hitch category is listed as Category 1. This matters because rear implements need to match the tractor’s hitch pin size and geometry
Hitch control note
For the Kubota GB180, position control is listed as hitch-control context. Do not size implements from this field; use lift capacity and hitch category first
Hydraulic flow note
For hydraulic context, the Kubota GB180 is listed at 16.2 gpm (61.3 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions
Operating weight note
Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota GB180’s captured operating weight is 1,587 lb (720 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability
Rear implement matching
Use the Kubota GB180’s hitch capacity as a filter before shopping for rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box

How much can the Kubota GB180 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota GB180 is 2,980 lb (1,352 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?

Can the Kubota GB180 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota GB180’s useful lift reference is 2,980 lb (1,352 kg). It may suit rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box, but match implements carefully, especially if the attachment is long or carries weight far behind the hitch.
Do hydraulic flow and weight matter for the Kubota GB180?
Yes. The Kubota GB180 lists hydraulic pump flow of 16.2 gpm (61.3 L/min) and operating weight of 1,587 lb (720 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.
