Kubota GM82 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
The Kubota GM82 rear hitch spec points to 1,200 lb (544 kg) for lift at 24 inches behind the link ends. Use that number before assuming a heavy rear implement will lift safely
24-inch lift note
Use the 24-inch number first. It is usually closer to how a real implement loads the 3-point hitch
Hitch category note
If you are matching implements to the Kubota GM82, start with Category 1, then check lift capacity and tractor stability
Hitch control note
For the Kubota GM82, 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 GM82 is listed at 13.7 gpm (51.9 L/min). Do not confuse pump flow with lift capacity; they answer different questions
Operating weight note
Weight matters with rear implements. The Kubota GM82’s captured operating weight is 6,217 lb (2,820 kg), which affects ballast, traction and stability
Rear implement matching
The practical reason to check rear lift on the Kubota GM82 is implement fit. Think box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade, then compare actual implement weight
Kubota GM82 3-Point Hitch FAQ
How much can the Kubota GM82 rear 3-point hitch lift?
The main rear-lift number captured for the Kubota GM82 is 1,200 lb (544 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 1,200 lb (544 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 GM82?
The listed hitch category for the Kubota GM82 is Category 1. Match implement pins and hitch width to that category before worrying about lift capacity.
Can the Kubota GM82 handle heavy rear attachments?
The Kubota GM82’s useful lift reference is 1,200 lb (544 kg). It may suit box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade, but stay conservative with heavy attachments and allow margin for implement overhang.
Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the Kubota GM82?
No. The Kubota GM82 may list 1,200 lb (544 kg) of rear lift, but the 6,217 lb (2,820 kg) operating weight and 13.7 gpm (51.9 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.
