Kubota GL321 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes

Rear lift capacity note For implement matching, the Kubota GL321 should be judged from the 1,500 lb (680 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 GL321, Category 1 is the important compatibility spec. Lift capacity tells you what it can raise; category tells you what fits
Hydraulic flow note The Kubota GL321’s captured hydraulic pump flow is 8.5 gpm (32.2 L/min). Lift capacity is still the main hitch number, but pump flow helps describe hydraulic capability
Operating weight note The Kubota GL321 operating weight is listed as 3,186 lb (1,445 kg). Tractor weight matters because a machine can sometimes lift more than it should comfortably carry on rough ground
Rear implement matching The Kubota GL321 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade are in the right size range

Yes. The Kubota GL321 lists hydraulic pump flow of 8.5 gpm (32.2 L/min) and operating weight of 3,186 lb (1,445 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.
