Kubota GL-600 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the Kubota GL-600 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 GL-600, 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 GL-600 is listed at 12.5 gpm (47.3 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions
Operating weight note
Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota GL-600’s captured operating weight is 4,343 lb (1,970 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability
Rear implement matching
The Kubota GL-600 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
Kubota GL-600 3-Point Hitch FAQ
What is the rear lift capacity of the Kubota GL-600?
Rear lift capacity for the Kubota GL-600 is shown as 1,500 lb (680 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends. For real attachment matching, stay conservative with heavy attachments and allow margin for implement overhang.
Is the 24-inch lift rating the one to trust?
For most rear implements, yes. The Kubota GL-600 is listed at 1,500 lb (680 kg) at 24 inches behind the link ends, which better reflects weight hanging behind the hitch points.
Does hitch category matter on the Kubota GL-600?
Yes. The Kubota GL-600 is listed as Category 1, and that decides what rear implements physically connect cleanly.
How should I match rear implements to the Kubota GL-600?
Start with 1,500 lb (680 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends, then compare the actual implement weight and overhang. Typical checks include box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota GL-600?
No. The Kubota GL-600 may list 1,500 lb (680 kg) of rear lift, but the 4,343 lb (1,970 kg) operating weight and 12.5 gpm (47.3 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.
