Kubota JB13 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
| Rear lift capacity note | For the Kubota JB13, 1,100 lb (499 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 control note | The captured hitch-control data for the Kubota JB13 mentions quarter-inching valve. Treat this as context only and confirm the exact control setup in the operator manual |
| Hydraulic flow note | Hydraulic pump flow is listed as 8.2 gpm (31 L/min). That is useful context for hydraulic response and some rear or auxiliary hydraulic functions |
| Operating weight note | For the Kubota JB13, operating weight is 1,213 lb (550 kg). Use that beside rear lift capacity before hanging a heavy implement out the back |
| Rear implement matching | Use the Kubota JB13’s hitch capacity as a filter before shopping for box blade, small rotary cutter, tiller, ballast box, and rear blade |
